Hello,

I am a Linux novice (and that's putting it mildly) running Ubuntu on a MacBook 3,1 platform. I recently compiled the 2.6.28 kernel (as 2.6.28-custom) and cannot get the wireless card (Broadcom43xx) to work.

I downloaded and compiled the driver from the Broadcom site but cannot seem to get it to work. Network-Manager does not recognize my wireless (eth1) NIC.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
