[SOLVED] wireless problems

[Guest]

I've tried many of the guides and chat and I can't seem to get wireless working. I'm in 9.04 and I've tried both ndiswrapper and native and neither seems to work. b43-fwcutter is installed, wireless is enabled (based on the taskbar networking icon) but the wireless tab in the settings there is grayed out.

Here's some command line output:

me:~$ sudo lshw -C network

Re: wireless problems

Could you please try this? (disable, re enable)

If it still fails, could you please show us the output of sudo lsmod?

If this is an upgrade, it might be blacklisted here: /etc/modprobe.d/

lmilano is a life-saver

and for record purposes , bcm4312 chips dont need the b43-cutter package. wl driver works just fine, except u may have to load it manually via /etc/modules.
