Natty A3 - Aspire 9300 with Broadcom BCM4311 rev01
If I install bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb, I obtain connection, but after view minutes the computer crash
If I install bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb, the wireless is desactivate and I can connect to internet.

Please clarify the bug description, particularly the statement "wireless is desactivate and I can connect to internet".

Do you mean with bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb that wireless is deactivated and you can NOT connect to the internet? Does version 5.100.* work at all for you?

Hi

When I install version bcmwl 5.100, the network indicator disappears and the network connection is cut (Firefox, Thunderbird can not connect, same with ping command).
Version 5.100 never works on my computer with Natty Alpha (not tested with Natty Beta)

b43-fwcutter and broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0 work fine under Natty Alpha2, 3 and Beta (dkms not install)

Regards

OK, we have established the problem is that bcmwl 5.100.* doesn't work with a BCM4311 chip on natty. So it's a duplicate of bug #732677.
