[ubuntu-in] Problem installing Maverick on lenovo

[Neha Jain]

Ok thanks to all of you.
I got the driver installed, without hassles once I got connected via LAN..
and now Broadcom STA is installed and hence I can go wireless!
Yeah, I have got a rather older version of kernel 2.6.35-22-generic.. it
works fine with it..
