Ubuntu 8.04.1 - Intel Pro/Wireless 3945AGB Solution (w/o Duct Tape)?

[catalina]

Please note : I run a Dell Inspiron 1501 (AMD 32 bit) with both Windows
Vista ant Ubuntu Hardy.
The Network Controller is a Broadcom BCM 4311 MCG and the Wireless Card
(Chipset) is also a Broadcom Corporation, namely BMC 94311 MCG.
It should work for you ....I think.
