Comment 4 for bug 220223

Sorry, i think you've missed the point.
If you reread the bug, whats happening is the Broadcom Wifi is being
recognised from the LiveCD, this we accept i belive, that a reboot will lose
the settings.

If however i INSTALL a fresh install of Hardy, i'd expect my Wifi card to
also be recognised. just as it was when i booted the CD, this however
doesn't occur, and it did in Gutsy.
