Dear All, I am attempting to help a colleague with a Linksys Wireless NIC (WPC54G, vers. 1.2) under Ubuntu 6.6. I'm unfamiliar with this NIC and distro. The driver will not load properly due to the NIC's firmware. A description matching our symptoms is listed on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsLinksys but the link referring to the solution at http://bcm43xx.spugna.org/index.php?topic=29.0 is broken. Does anybody with this H/W + S/W combination know the solution or have the information from the broken link? Ubuntu's webmanager has not responded to my query/broken link report. Also, would I be correct in assuming that the firmware upload to this NIC is volatile and therefore needs to be performed at each system boot? TIA. Tom Crane -- Tom Crane, Dept.
