I just bought a new laptop with a Broadcom chipset - pci-id 14e4:4358,
bcm43227.

Couldn't convince wi-fi to work with live disk.

Installed anyway.  Oneiric Otter 11.10 daily image from 9 October 2011.

added the  bcmwl-kernel-source package - appears to do the equivalent of
adding the STA proprietary driver as the STA driver was showing as
active when I went to the additional hardware app afterwards.

Turned on the wi-fi - requires alt(ctrl/windows key ?) F3 on the laptop.

Wanted to work but didn't

Changed wi-fi router settings so that it wasn't a hddewn network and
auto-channel selection from fixed 13 and it works.
