Good evening sluggers,
I finally got around to installing ubuntu on my new laptop (Presario r4000,
Athlon 64, Ati radion 200m, yada, yada, yada). After a little tweaking got
the video working and everything else works great with one exception, the
wireless card. It is a broadcom based 802.11b/g chipset. I followed the
setup instructions I found at this wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetUpNdiswrapper
and everthing seems to be workingbut I can never pull a dhcp address. Here
is the output of the ifup wlan0 command:

The wireless tool in KDE sees the ssid and has perfect signal strength. Ii
can see the iiinterface and ifconfig shows an ipv6 address but I just can't
seem too pull a DHCP address.
Does anybody have any ideas?
thanks in advance,
Keith
