Ubuntu Hardy has made wireless a little easier for laptop owners w/ the broadcom 1390 chipset. No more fucking around with ndiswrapper; just install a package, run a script, and you’re done. Installing the package should do the trick, but for some reason it failed for me (the firmware didn’t download), so you’ll probably need to run the second part too.


sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart


You’re done. You’re welcome.
