wireless card not detected in Gusty Gibbon

[Pär Lidén]

I heard that the support in linux for bcm43xx cards is quite bad currently.
Ubuntu 8.04, with kernel updated to 2.6.24, is said to be better (according
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Hardy/KernelVersion). Probably you'd
have to wait till then to get full support for your card.
