Comment 108 for bug 124159

Thom et. al.,

I've read with great interest this thread as I had recently crashed my Feisty installation which connected well at 11 Mb/s wirelessly to my router via the bcm43xx driver. I decided to move up to Gutsy, and decided to try to get connected wirelessly via ndiswrapper. Everything I tried for 2 days there failed and so I began researching online for help to try Gutsy with using fwcutter and the bcm43xx driver. I'm happy to report that I'm connected quite well with this driver and Gutsy (typing this wirelessly now). Some preliminary info:

Card: Linksys WMP54GS (Broadcom 4306)
PCI ID: 14e4:4320 (ver 03)
Linux: Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10
uname -r: 2.6.22-14-generic
Connection Speed: NM reports 24 Mb/s. www.speedtest.net yielded
                  4,234 kb/s down and 4,840 up speed.

Since this was a fresh install of Gutsy just today (but from an October iso download), I'm in the process of downloading and applying updates. Hopefully this won't kill anything I've gotten working today.

I have to admit I'm still very much a Linux noob (pretty experienced with Windows computers though) as well as a Bugs.Launchpad.net total noob so my apologies if I'm not posting correctly here. But if there's additional information that I can provide to help this thread, please let me know. Thanks.
