After years of using the RedHat distros, I'm now moving to Ubuntu, and
I have a couple of questions/problems.
First problem:
I have a laptop with a Dell wireless 1350 card (Broadcom BCM4306
chipset), and I have not been successful with the ndiswrapper
installation -- I can't seem to find the right files to install the
driver. I have a couple of driver files, but not the right
bcmwl5a.inf (or bcmwl5.sys?) files. I could use some help. I've
looked at the ndiswrapper site, but no luck thus far.
Second question:
I've also installed ubuntu server, and I'm surprised that it does not
support a graphics display through ssh, accessed by (different) linux
workstation. That is:
ssh -X ubuntu-server (from a workstation)
I would expect to be able to run programs in graphics mode, displaying
through ssh, but no luck. Is there a way to enable this, or are all
the server applications compiled without graphics?
TIA,
Bill
