    bunty wierdness...

    basically dell inspiron 1520 with a dell 1395 wifi built in...
    thing is i've used the restricted drivers and it detects my network yet the pass key just will not work
    litterally is the right key aswell.
    its wpa-psk security and i've tried like manual connection etc but nothing.
    well annoying using the ethernet at the mo...
    need wireless...

    Good riddance. Wish I'd done it about a year ago.

    http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2008/04/nd...rdy-heron.html should explain how to hax the windows driver into being used

    or, if you feel daring, you could try upgrading to the unreleased 8.10 release

    unfortunately, the broadcom chip in the dell wireless has poor support in older kernels, and random bits might not work (with any luck it's better behaved in newer kernels)
