[Dapper]ifconfig wlan0 errors out

[C Hamel]

First, installing kubuntu Flight4 came back w/the wireless card being called 
eth0 & the wired card being called eth1.  Oh well.

After loading the Broadcom driver, bcmwl5.inf/sys files into ndiswrapper I ran 
into problems.  Iwconfig came back w/no wireless found, and when I 
attempted...
# ifconfig eth0 [IP address]
...and got an error regarding the bcm43xx_microcode.fw being absent.    I 
tried 'modprobe bcm43xx' and that was no help. I then did a deliberate 
search...
# find / -iname bcm43xx_microcode.fw
...and nothing was found.

First, I prefer my wired network card to be eth0 & the wireless to be wlan0.  
Past that inconvenience, Breezy loads the drivers w/o any problems --using 
the afore-mentioned names-- and I have, on numerous occasions, used the 
wireless at the office & the wired at my home office.  Dapper has trouble 
with this.  Should I file a bug report on this, perhaps??

Any suggestions appreciated. :-)
