Comment 20 for bug 202567

I have an Acer Ferrari 4000. I installed Hardy and it complained about
the firmware on the Broadcom chip so I followed the link and updated it.

Ok, so now wireless works fine in Ubuntu, but when I boot into Windows
the wireless is broken, it will see networks but when u try to connect to
one with WPA it will not connect and with WEP it connects but you cannot
ping or do anything. I even reformatted/reinstalled, same problems..

I know this is now a problem with Windows, not Ubuntu BUT by following the
firmware instructions as per Ubuntu my wireless is messed up now and will
not function in Windows. The worst part is I want to sell my laptop and now
I cant sell it with broken wireless.

HELP!!!!!! I'm worried updating the firmware has busted my laptop now
and Acer wont help.

How do I get my old firmware back and WHY did I have to
update it in the first place since wireless worked FINE on a previous Ubuntu
version.

VERY FRUSTRATED
