[CoLoCo] wonderful broadcom problems

[Jim Hutchinson]

Okay, here is another challenge. I just installed 64bit hardy on a mac with
a bcm4328 (lspci -> Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328
802.11a/b/g/n
(rev 03)) and I can't get it to work. It doesn't even recognize it. I was
able to get 32bit gutsy to work so thought hardy would be fine. Maybe it's a
64bit issue, I don't know. Some posts suggested that the restricted driver
manager should just offer to install the proper driver but it doesn't. In
fact, according to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 this chip
isn't supported but I had it working before so not sure. A possible solution
is suggested here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616801 but I'm
reluctant to try given the feedback about no support.

Anyone know a solution (other than buying a new card)? If I were to buy a
new card, what should I get? I'd actually like one that is USB but on a
cable so it can be placed high or on a wall.

Thanks,
-jim
