wireless bcm43xx driver ubuntu 8.04

[Erik.]

I am already trying 3 days to fix my internet connection.

I installed 8.04 on my computer, i want to use wireless internet.
I found this thread:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...eisty_No-Fluff

Now everything was going good.
i only need to do the Hardy Bug Fix
When i do lshw -C network after the fix i see this:

  *-network

After reboot this is my output:

erik@erik-desktop:~$ lshw -C network

go to system->administration->restricted drivers and make sure they are enabled

[Erik.]

I made a startup script and now it works, only thing i always need to start that script for internet connection...

Only problem i need sudo and also tried sudo -i but that does not work for the startup...
i need sudo at startup only for that script.

[superprash2003]

hope this is what you are looking for
echo (password) | sudo -S (command)

[Erik.]

it does not work sorry.

The driver bcm43xx has been blacklisted and replaced with

configuration: driver=b43-pci-bridge latency=32 module=ssb

bcm43xx has to be un-blacklisted and the abouve coponets b43 and ssb need to be blacklisted. I dont know how to blacklist those componites, but the are blocking the bcmwl5.inf I need too

So it looks like my card is recognized but not working. I checked the restricted driver manager and I don't see to need any.

Any ideas?
