Hey yall, I finally took the plunge and downloaded and installed 8.04. Ran into an expected snag with my Broadcom 4318 wireless card, the device is recognized, the ndiswrapper program and windows driver say they are working, but for some reason I cannot get the power turned on to it. I currently have to connect through ethernet. Any suggestions or help? Here are some code outputs, hope they are helpful
