Hi Bill,<br><br>For minimal mucking about with Ubuntu, after installation download<br>bcm43xx-fwcutter and network manager via ethernet cable to router.<br>Update everything (there were bugs in network manager), reboot and it
<br>should have it picking up. remember to have the network manager in<br>roaming mode, and with the network manager by right clicking the icon in<br>your start-up panel you can add a new wireless connection with WPA<br>support. The way of doing it at command line mode is here:
