Learning Linux
Posted 08/07/2007 at 04:43:56pm
I installed Ubuntu with no problems, but because my wireless card is made by Broadcom, Ubuntu refuses to recognize it. So, although I have a pretty new OS to play with, I can't get online. If I look at 10 different message boards, I get 10 different sets of "how to" instructions to fix the probem, all which revolve around installing a Wireless Wrapper. Couldn't some one at Ubuntu be proactive and include a workaround for those of use who have broadcom wireless cards?
You Can Switch to Linux!

In Maximum PC, it says something to the effect of after you install the OS, just click on the network icon and you'll be online. Yeah, right! What if you have a broadcom wireless card? Try finding THE correct way to install an NDIS Wrapper or better yet, try finding THE correct wrapper. Then, since you have nothing better to do, sit around and type line after line after line of command line commands. Come on Ubuntu, can't you do better than that? Please try!
