Bug Description
Problem occurs with: Jaunty alpha 4, alpha 5, alpha 6, beta, release candidate
Does not occur with: Ubuntu 8.10
Linux mpt-laptop 2.6.28-9-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 11 15:43:58 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
On a MacBook early 2008 (rev3 and rev4), Ubuntu 8.10 connects to wireless fine. But in Jaunty, Network Manager does not display any wireless networks.
Hardware Drivers reports that the "Broadcom STA wireless driver" is "activated but not currently in use".
This is not a duplicate of bug 125919 or bug 221837, unless they were fixed after Intrepid alpha 2 and have since regressed (in which case there probably should be a new bug report anyway). Nor is it a duplicate of bug 342802 for the MacBook Pro, because it uses an Atheros card whereas the MacBook uses a Broadcom one.

@Matthew -- It does seem that the right drivers are loaded according to lspci and yet there is no mesaages from the driver in the dmesg output. Odd. So could we get the lsmod output from the failing kernel and lsmod, dmesg and lspci -vvnn from the previous working one.
