[Bug 379506] Re: Intrepid no wireless connection Broadcom BCM4318

[jan]

Success. Theory proven. Did not need the reboot after activating the
driver. Worked like a charm. If you have a notebook with Broadcom
wireless card BCM4318, this appears to be the easiest solution by far.

>From a clean WUBI install of Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04, my wireless card was
(again) not immediately detecting any wireless networks, but I had a
wired ethernet connection working. (You will need to be wired in because
there will be a driver downloaded as part of the automated solution).

In Gnome, just click on System>>Administration>>Hardware Drivers and activate the B43 driver. The driver should now show up as activated, and in a few more moments you should be able to see all the wireless networks in range, unless they are hidden.
In my case, I saw all my neighbors routers. Mine is hidden. but that is easy to solved by clicking on "Connect to Hidden Wireless Network". 

No terminal commands were necessary whatsoever. It's so easy a non-geek
can do it, and start enjoying a wireless networked Linux even if they
have a Broadcom BCM4318 card.
