Hi there
I have only recently installed dualboot Vista/Ubuntu 9.10. I am unable to get the wireless working in Ubuntu. I have followed nearly all the forum threads on this issue but nothing to seem to have worked. The wireless card in my Dell Inspiron 1545 is BCM 4312 802.11b/g 14e4:4315.
I have followed the instruction in the Readme.txt for 32 bit driver "hybrid-portsrc.tar.gz" as downloaded from Broadcom site.
In a thread on similar issue pytheas22 and Ayuthia advised to execute a few commnads and place the results which i am doing in this mail. Any help from them and other is greatly appreciated. I executed all these commands while connected to Internet on wire,
