so much for the help! I was slightly discouraged when my wireless
stopped working after I upgraded Breezy to Dapper, but it's working
perfectly now. &quot; &gt;&gt;<br></div><br>However, I still am confused, and unable to determine whether the stuff that is offered at this site <br>(I can download it via another computer, &quot;before&quot; I get my wifi working on my BCM4318).
<br><br>

Any advice appreciated.<br>For example, can you tell whether the  problem they are solving, is<br>the same one mentioned [see below] on <span class="gmail_quote">10/3/06 by <b class="gmail_sendername">Joseph Sinclair</b>
?</span><br><br>
Any other advice also appreciated.<br>&quot;such as&quot;, whether this site [see above] is [maybe] what I need. <br>Thanks in advance,<br>-- <br>Mike Schwartz&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>Glendale&nbsp;&nbsp;AZ <br><a href="mailto:schwartz@acm.org">schwartz@acm.org

<a href="http://kernel.org">kernel.org</a> driver can only listen at this time).&nbsp;&nbsp;The BCM driver team is working on a fix to the <a href="http://kernel.org">kernel.org</a> driver to get the Tx power issue fixed, until then, you'll have to use NDISWrapper, and accept that connectivity won't be too reliable.

<br>&gt;&gt; we dealt with that chipset at the last installfest.&nbsp;&nbsp;It doesn't quite<br>&gt;&gt; work with the built in kernel driver yet.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ndiswrapper is your only<br>&gt;&gt; solution for now.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps in a few months a native driver will work.
<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt; FWIW, to verify your chipset (they can and do vary w/in model/version numbers):<br>&gt; # lspci -n -v<br>&gt; will show you the pciid.<br>---------------------------------------------------<br>PLUG-discuss mailing list -
