Bug Description
I setup Ubuntu 12.04 a few days ago on my Acer Aspire 5103 WLMI, AMD Turion 64x2, 120G HD, upgraded to 4G Ram and running along side Windows 7. Network controller is working fine with perfect WiFi on the Windows 7 partition. But I have tryed everything to get the WiFi to work on Ubuntu with no luck so far.
Below is the Network controller details.
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
