Lothar,

Thanks for the reply but the native Broadcom driver is not an option for me. 
  I live in an apartment complex with as many as 5 or 6 separate networks in 
the area at once.  WEP encryption is just pure trash compared to the 
security of WPA.  I could probably walk around the apartment complex right 
now if I had Dapper on here again with Airsnort and get into even the ones 
around that are so called secured.  However, thanks for the info.  I can get 
ndiswrapper working fine under Dapper and am moving the laptop back to it in 
about 20 minutes.  I had to do something to prove to Ubuntu staff I wasn't 
lying about ndiswrapper being toasted in Edgy Eft.  I've now got screenshots 
to prove it.  LOL.

Sincerely,
TFrog
