Just found the answer I was looking for, had to run:
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
This fixed the problem, it seems to work great now!

It's my own special one. Actually, to be honest, all I know is that 95% of the ones I tried didn't work (this includes ones on the CD, and downloaded from the Compaq website), and that the one that did came from a post somewhere on this site.Originally Posted by punkybouy

Compuwiz...
Many thnaks for this How To. worked perfectly for me on a HP6100
I've screwed with this thing for hours. Your advice worked first time..
Is there a way to bring up the wifi without rebooting?
I'm using a live CD and have the driver/script tarball copied onto a USB stick. Even if I have to reinstall wifi every time I boot from the live CD, I'm okay with that. The only problem is that the current procedure requires rebooting, which with a live cd environment means "start over".
Try the one that doesn't include network manager. When it tells you you should reboot, don't. The go to System / Administration / Networking. Configure the card. It should work, if you're lucky. I've never tried it with the live CD though. Tell me how it works.Originally Posted by LegoManiac
Hope that helps.
Thanks Compwiz for starting this thread it has been a great help!
Before running your script (the default one that includes network manager) I uninstalled network manager and network manager gnome (both of which I had installed during previous attempts to get my broadcom wifi card working) to get a fresh start.
After running the script there was no icon in the top right of my screen and the wifi would not connect. Synaptic showed that network-manger was installed but not network-manager-gnome. So, with synaptic, I installed nework-manager-gnome, and this got the wifi card working.
So there seem to be two things, network-manager and network-manager-gnome, that need to be installed.

Great thread, although none of the solutions so far have helped me.
Ive tried numerous solutions including using different versions of the bcm43xx driver and also different versions of ndiswrapper. My current issue is that when I ran the script that compwiz18 posted on the first page of this thread, my wireless device vanished...
It doesnt show up in either 'ifconfig' or 'iwconfig'
Code:# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions.im running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 64bit version on an Acer Aspire 5024WLMi with a AMD Turion processorCode:# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0A:E4:EF:A7:72 inet addr:192.168.0.7 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20a:e4ff:feef:a772/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1491 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1630 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1628224 (1.5 MiB) TX bytes:186602 (182.2 KiB) Interrupt:66 Base address:0x2400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:13507 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:13507 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1056605 (1.0 MiB) TX bytes:1056605 (1.0 MiB)
Any ideas??
I'm not using a broacom wireless card...but rather a linksys usb wireless adapter
I'm having a lot of trouble connecting to my wireless network...as in, I can't even do it. Here are my iwlist:

when I go into the network manager, no matter what I do, it sets the gateway default device to my wired network card, not the wireless. Any help would be appreciated!
worked for me like a charm.
thanks!!!! doesnt work with kismet i have heard.. anyone tried?
