Bug Description

HP's dv5000 series laptops use this built in wireless adapter:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
                        14e4:4318 (rev 02)

Ubuntu either does not recognize the unit or is unable to use it to create a wireless connection.

Confirmed in Ubuntu Feisty (and Gutsy). I exclusively use the "ndiswrapper" driver, which works great. Due the large number of wifi cards it is probably not feasible to include every driver into the image.

Take a look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
