I have reinstalled 8.04 beta, performed all the updates possible (including the newer kernel, 2.6.24-15-generic). I installed ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9, then installed the bcmwl5.inf driver and modprobe'd ndiswrapper, and it immediately worked. Good to know the fix is related to the kernel, but it'd be nice to know if it was an Ubuntu fix or a kernel fix.

Also, I've noticed that my wireless connection maxes out at 130Mbps (in Windows, it maxes out at 270Mbps). I believe this is due to the driver using the 20Mhz band instead of 40Mhz. Does anyone know if there's a way to get the full 270Mbps out of it?
