[olug] Ubuntu8 & Dell broadcom wireless.....WTH??

[Dan Linder]

Lets start with the basics.
1: What is the exact make/model of the wireless card?
2: Is it integrated on the motherboard, USB, PCMCIA, etc?
3: If it is USB or PCMCIA, what shows up in the /var/log/messages file after
you plug it in?
4: If it's USB, plug it in and run "lsusb -v" and send the output.  (If it's
PCMCIA or integrated, run "lspci -v" instead.)
