Hi... You helped me before when I couldn't connect to the internet with 7.10 and wireless.

Here was the solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4348362#post4348362

But now last night I uploaded to 8.04 and now I've restarted the computer and... oh-oh... Internet doesn't work again.. no connection... I can't switch on the little light on the keyboard of my laptop to receive wireless connections...
I tried to enable again the bcm43xx-fwcutter_006-4_i386.deb but an error appears and I must restart the computer...

I need your help, thanks!

add sudo as a preface for said commands, and theres a typo where you entered .ing instead of .inf


maybe?
