Out of curiosity, and vaguely on topic, is there any way to make UoN WiFi work with smartphones?  I think there must be some issue with proxy stuff that I don&#39;t understand.<br><br>HTC Hero running 2.1 [rooted if that helps]<br>

&gt; Hey there,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
</div><div>&gt; I run Ubuntu x64 10.10 on a BCM4312 b/g card.<br>
&gt;<br>
<br>
</div>Ugh, unfortunately it&#39;s probably more to do with that Broadcom adaptor<br>
rather than Ubuntu itself.<br>
<br>
Sadly Broadcom adaptors are really quite flakey because you have to<br>
use the proprietary driver, which may or may not require a non-zero<br>
amount of imaginative hackery to get working. This page might help<br>
you: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx</a><br>
<br>
However, Broadcom recently released a whole chunk of code so the<br>
situation is likely to improve in the future but that code is still in<br>
the staging tree and has not yet been merged in the mainline upstream<br>
kernel. I don&#39;t know if Ubuntu have back-ported it to any of their<br>
released kernels.<br>
