Hi, I'm seeing the same problem in 8.04. As per Leann's suggestion, above, I upgraded to 8.10 Alpha5. The problem is still present for me.
After reboot, I noticed a line in dmesg warning about old drivers, so I went to linuxwireless.org and manually installed the drivers. After further reboot, here are relevant bits of dmesg: [ 4.355128] b43-pci-bridge 0000:00:0c.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNK2] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 [ 18.669201] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found [ 42.770613] input: b43-phy0 as /class/input/input9 [ 42.840153] firmware: requesting b43/ucode5.fw [ 42.946222] firmware: requesting b43/pcm5.fw [ 42.998054] firmware: requesting b43/b0g0initvals5.fw [ 43.006970] firmware: requesting b43/b0g0bsinitvals5.fw [ 43.128127] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10) [ 43.279668] Registered led device: b43-phy0::tx [ 43.280763] Registered led device: b43-phy0::rx [ 43.281529] Registered led device: b43-phy0::radio [ 43.602970] NET: Registered protocol family 17 [ 45.816239] b44: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.

'uname -a' gives: Linux limpet 2.6.27-2-generic #1 SMP Thu Aug 28 17:20:02 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux At this point I'm not quite sure how to proceed. I'm pretty comfortable with kernel hacking, and willing to try any suggestions/patches/whatever, however I'm new to Ubuntu (and to the bcm4306!) so will need my hand holding. best regards, stephen -- Broadcom 4306 doesn't work!
