Tiny wiki update suggestion

Hi,

I went on the ubuntu community forum to get help with a networking issue and was very quickly directed to this page on the wiki:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_Natty_11.04?highlight=%28ManufacturerModel%29

which helped me fix my problem instantly.

However my case was slightly different, because it was on Ubuntu 11.10 and instead of this command:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf

I needed to use:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-common.conf

probably because the generic driver installer had changed its method of blacklisting certain things to make it easier to remove!

I tried to add this info to the wiki page but even after logging in and clicking the "show editing tools" button at the bottom of the page I couldn't work out how to edit the page.

So if that alteration is useful enough to be added to the wiki, I leave it with you.



thanks,

Denis
