Eric -

If you have a solution, I'd love to see it on-list. I, too, have a laptop with a Broadcom wireless card that works under XP but which Natty isn't handling correctly. This card came in a HP laptop, not that that matters. 

I've used previous versions of Ubuntu, going back to Warty, and other laptops with Broadcom cards but haven't found a solution to this one yet. 

What information do you need?

Thanks
Thomas
