[ubuntu-uk] Broadcom Wi-Fi Problem Caused By Recent Update

[Nigel Verity]

Hi Guys

I'm running 11.04 on 3 machines; a Dell laptop, an Acer laptop and an Acer netbook.

The Dell and the netbook both use the Broadcom STA wireless driver. Today I performed a routine system update, via Update Manager, and now I have no wi-fi on the machines running the Broadcom driver. No wireless networks are detected.

The Dell wi-fi works fine if I boot it using Windows 7, and my Kindle and the non-Broadcom Acer laptop both detect my network, so I am confident that there is no problem with any of the network cards or my router.

It appears to me as if something in a very recent update is the root cause. Does anybody have any ideas for a solution?

Regards

Nige
