Wireless works with Ubuntu 8.10, but not with Kubuntu 8.10

[Eric (Kubuntu)]

Hey everyone.  Congrats on the release of 8.10.

I have a laptop that has a Broadcom wireless card in it, which has
always been somewhat of a pain to get wireless working right on it.
Until Ubuntu 8.04 that is.  Since then, piece of cake.

I did a fresh install last night, because I wanted to try out Kubuntu
this time around.  Install went fine.  I tossed the firmware for the
broadcom stuff in /lib/firmware and viola, the light on my Laptop
indicating the wireless was on came on.  Except...  No luck.  I messed
with it for hours and I never could connect to my wireless network.

So, this morning I decided to give Ubuntu 8.10 a try.  Same process, I
installed it, and tossed the firmware into /lib/firmware.  POOF!
Wireless worked fine under Ubuntu 8.10.

Same laptop, same install process, same firmware, same wireless network
... Works fine in Ubuntu, but no worky in Kubuntu.

I'd really like to give Kubuntu a try, I'm kinda excited about the KDE4
stuff, it looks pretty neat... I've been a Gnome guy for a long time,
but I want to at least give KDE4 a shot since its come so far.

Anyway...  Without wireless, the laptop is no good to me, so Kubuntu is
off of it until I can get figure this out.

BTW, its a Broadcom 4318 chipset.  Obviously I know it works in Linux,
since it works in Ubuntu, just not Kubuntu.

Any thoughts?  Suggestions?  Where to start?


Thanks!
