Hi all,
I have recently installed Kubuntu 8.04 and am having trouble getting my wireless PC card to work despite following the excellent howtos avi;lable through these fora. It uses the Broadcom BCM4318 chipset. I have installed the windows driver with Ndiswrapper but the link light never comes on. See terminal outputs below which seem to suggest that all is well, but of course it's not.
