This is on the following hardware:
[lspci output] 0000:02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
Dapper sees this as eth1, but iwconfig can't work with it. I found this in my dmesg | grep bcm:
[4294780.129000] bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed.
I am aware that some tweaking may be needed for this to work. If this is the case, you might want to make "Wireless Troubleshooting Guide" wiki page referenced in the Help document (search for wireless in System>Help>System Documentation) available offline so people can set up their wlan0s easier... |

Hi there, thanks for this suggestion. I'm going to mark this bug as a duplicate of your other bug concerning modems, then we will treat that bug as a more general "setting up internet should be dealt with in more detail by the system documentation" bug. So, I'll mark this bug as rejected, but don't feel this means we won't consider your bug: we will, but we'll consider it under the other bug.
Thanks, Matt |
