BCM4318 on Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04)

I tried different guides before. But it was your Hardy Bug Fix what made my wireless LED start blinking.

After almost 10 hours, I was so close to give up.

Thank you for your work.

I will send a message to Broadcom.

Now I hope I can configure the WAP part. But at least I’m one step closer.

Thank you again.
