    Re: WICD not detecting my wireless network

    Oh that is silly of me. I should have known to do that on my own. I have had ubuntu long enough to know that.

    Alright it just says:
    Code:
    SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

    Looks like the drivers for your broadcom aren't working, or maybe even installed. If I had any experience with these broadcoms i'd recommend a howto, but I don't know which ones are good...

    If you get online with wired - you should be able to enable fwcutter in Hardware / Restricted Drivers.

    Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

    Well I do have the kind of device stated, unfortunately it didn't tell me useful. I still can't get any of this to work.

    I am also using ubuntu 8.04 and in hardware drivers it says no propritary drivers are in use and the list is empty.

    Since it is now showing up, you can install b43-fwcutter. It will bring up a screen asking if you want it to have it find the firmware for you. If you have a working internet connection, say yes and it should take of it for you.

    Its finally working, thank you to everyone who helped me fix this. I think the fwcutter driver is what finally fixed it.
