[xubuntu-users] No wireless Internet

[auburn1982]

I'll be interested to hear suggestions to your question.  I have a HP laptop
and have been unsuccessful getting Broadcom wireless working.  Similar
scenario you described.  It worked previously with XP.  Have been using
Xubuntu 9.04 and decided to run an Ethernet cable under the house rather
than spend time troubleshooting the wireless problem.

Regards,
John
