Comment 16 for bug 208049

Excellent! I am now able to wirelessly connect to my WEP-encrypted router with no difficulty. Although it now appears to work well, this should be a MUCH more automated process when using the (KDE) restricted driver manager. Hopefully it will be fixed in the 8.04 final release.

As a side note, in Gutsy (which automatically fetched and installed the firmware), after configuring my connection to my non-broadcasting WEP router, I was completely unable to connect to a friend's open but non-broadcasting router. I think this was with the bcm43xx driver, not b43 as I am using now. I will test my ability to connect to his router this afternoon and report any problems, if you think that would help.
