    Is it possible to get this working on a LiveCD? I tried both archives (one with and without net manager) but no go. Installs successfully but requires me to reboot so that the card becomes active which of course I cannot do.

    Try not rebooting...it may still work.

    Re: HOWTO: Broadcom 4318 Wireless Cards

    I've got mye 4318 working, but when I suspend or hibernate the laptop the adapter no longer has an IP adress when it wakes up. I have to poke it back into life by running:

    sudo ifdown eth1
    sudo ifup eth1

    How do I make the system run these commands automatically upon wakening? With the proper privileges?

    I'm pretty sure there is a file somewhere for this purpose; I do not know what it is called. If you find out, post it here. I would like to know.

    Re: HOWTO: Broadcom 4318 Wireless Cards

    I just used this script to try and fix my 4318 card, and I am almost home. I can see the available access points, even network manager shows the right essids, but it won't connect. The icon just spins around until it's timed out...
    I am sure it must be something small... I am using windows now and can't give my iwconfig et al, but I am going to switch back to ubuntu ASAP and update this post accordingly.
    In the mean time, does any one have any suggestion about where the problem may lie... I have tried commenting out everything not pertaining to the lo interface in /etc/network/interfaces to no avail.

    Do you have some sort of encyption on your router? Or another wifi manager, such as gtk-wifi?

    No. I read all of your first post and I made sure I did not have any other wifi-managers present. I only have network-manager and network-manager-gnome present. I used the first link. (The one specifically designed for network manager).

    Well...did you try iwlist and iwconfig?
    If anywhere you see something about Access Point: Invalid, beware. This is a problem.
