Re: [CoLoCo] Ubuntu-us-co Digest, Vol 53, Issue 7

[Ernest Kudron]

Here is a question maybe someone can help me with.  Why will Wireless not work on any system after Maverick  10.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1501?   I would like to upgrade, but a laptop without wireless is useless.  The Driver is there but no connection.  I have tried three different ISO images and the normal upgrade package.  All have required I re-install 10.10 to have a working laptop.

Thanks.

Is that an intel wireless card?

[Simon Engelbert]

This help? http://blog.tech4him.com/2011/09/broadcom-wireless-on-ubuntu-11-04-and-11-10/

Commenter says it worked on his 1501

[David Overcash]

You should bring it with you to the release party - pretty good chance some of us could take a look and get it working - at least, judging by the fact that other reports on the net are showing positive results, etc. etc.
