Comment 54 for bug 197959

Hi people

I think I have the same sort of problem on my acer aspire 5023 notebook with a broadcom 4318 wireless chipset.
After I freshly installed Ubuntu Hardy from the live disk and installed acer_acpi and the b43 driver the wireless worked.(but the range treble!)
after some ubuntu-updates it stopped working in total. I tried installing the old bcm43xx-fwcutter and the ndiswrapper but these two also don't work. It still sees the wireless networks but when I try to connect... I see that blue thing rotating at the nm-applet but those lights stay gray... no green :(

I have attached my syslog and dmesg
