[ubuntu-uk] No wireless connection on Ubuntu 10.4 Netbook remix

[Anthony Coyle]

I am looking for help to enable my Acer eee 1000H to connect wirelessly to
my router. This netbook has a dual boot system. There is XP on one partition
and a clean install of Ubuntu 10.4 on the other. The Ubuntu sees the router
and asks me for the key. I type this exaxtly and hit the connect key but
Ubuntu fails to connect and after an interval again asks for the key and on
entering it again still fails to connect and eventually Ubuntu says that I
am offline.My router has no difficulty communicating with the XP partition
wirelessly and neither does my Internet radio nor my iMac which has also
dual boot with Mac OSX and Vista. Before I installed Ubuntu 10.4 on my
netbook the installation was Ubuntu 9.10 on the netbook Ubuntu partition and
this connected without problem with my router.

At present I can only connect using Ubuntu 10.4 via ethernet cable.

I have looked at the icon "Hardware drivers" in Ubuntu. This states that
there are no proprietory drivers installed.. I ran through Terminal lspci
and attach the file which shows no drivers for the wireless card. That card
is an 802,11n Wireless Lan card manufactured by Ralink Technology Corp. I
have tried to solve the problem by running
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo reboot

This had no effect and no driver appeared in the Hardware Drivers icon.

I also ran in Terminal

sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter

This did not resolve the problem

There are still no drivers shown in the Hardware Drivers icon.

I am sure that this problem can be resolved and would appreciate help so
that I can enjoy the new Ubuntu 10,4 fully.

Regards

Benjy
