... in my 3 day old kubuntu raring install, though I think it was giving me more problems under 12.04. But it cuts out sometimes, and the signal strength indicator in system tray fluctuates occasionally. So I'm not sure the configuration is quite right. Everything else works great.
Here's some info, gleaned from other threads. Hope it's enough.

I'm a bit weak re wireless, and after looking at all this i'm not even sure which driver I'm actually using. According to what I've been able to find brcmsmac is the one I want, but I'm not sure in this case.Code:brcmsmac 521468 0 cordic 12518 1 brcmsmac brcmutil 14355 1 brcmsmac mac80211 526519 1 brcmsmac cfg80211 436177 2 brcmsmac,mac80211 bcma 39645 1 brcmsmac
I have alson found that searching can lead you to many more hits on the wrong way than the right way. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
