[xubuntu-users] No wireless Internet

[Mike Shaw]

Sounds like you may have a Broadcom opensource driver issue.  I have a
Dell laptop that uses that has a broadcom wireless card and was fine
in Gutsy and as soon as I upgraded to Hardy the signal strength
dropped.  I found some links that mention a bug in the opensource
driver.  I plan to switch to Ndiswrapper, you may want to try it too:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper

If you don't want to do that you should drop do some testing without
encryption to see if that could be causing issues, then up the level
upon successes.

Good Luck!

Mike
