Subject: Linksys Wireless NIC (WPC54G, vers. 1.2) under Ubuntu 6.6 problem

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.
