dmesg.log attached

lspci-vvnn.log attached

Where s the problem?
When I first tried Gusty Tribe 3 wireless worked. I could both, connect to
the internet without a patch cable connected to my laptop, and I could
single-left-click on the network manager icon in the notification area of
the top panel. Once clicked, it showed several wireless networks which were
available.

Since wireless had been a problem in Feisty I quickly looked at the
interfaces file and found wlan0 and wlan was shown correctly in the
network-manager application and if I did a iwconfig.

Now, there are no wireless networks show in the network manager icon in the
notification area...
iwconfig reports wireless on eth3 with a nickname of broadcom 4306
and I cannot connect if the cable is disconnected.

So... the problem is both!<smile>
I really think that the wlan0 versus eth3 is part of the problem.

Wish I could go back to that wonderful time when it started working. But
alas, I do not know how.

Thanx for working this.

PS. Just looked into those files. Wow! You know what all that means?!
