Linksys wireless with Ubuntu server
Linux
Been trying to get a linksys wireless card working on my server with Ubuntu 8.04. Its not the easiest thing.
My output of lspci shows:
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
And my lshw -C network:
*-network<br />

configuration: broadcast=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11g<br />
And my output of iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.</p>

So the hardware apparently is a little tricky but I have downloaded the firmware and drivers that should support it with the correct wrapper.
Except its really not working yet.
