wireless does not work with Hardy heron 8.04 TLS

[Vinux75]

Dear Forum,

I had recently upgraded to Hardy Heron 8.04 from Gusty 7.10. The wirless LAN was working fine with the Gusty 7.10. But after upgrading to Hardy I have not been able to connect to wireless network. I am able to see the wireless network but the connection attempt fails, no IP address is obtained. I am using the WLAN card wl 138 from Asus.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can you post your lspci -nn info? That will provide us more detail about your wireless card.

Hi,

The post under the title
"Reload this Page [ubuntu] Broadcom Wireless Setup for Hardy (Step by step)" by alex_kent_18 helped me to connect to the wirless network in Hardy.
Thanks to alex.

Thankyou Ayuthia, my wirless network is working now :)
