bcm4318

[Erik Schmidt]

so, I went into the administration networking tool and unchecked the
wireless connection, networkManager still doesn't show my wireless card
and won't give me anything with which to select a newtwork

do I have to go and delete the wireless network card option in the
networking tool?

if this is the case, how would I get it back?

TIA
