If you have a working net connection in Ubuntu, then it is very easy to install wifi drivers! Just go to Administration -> Hardware Drivers and check the box to enable the same!

Some models need manual ndiswrapper steps like the one in my tablet. HP Pavilion tx1302au with broadcom 4312 revision 2 wifi chipset...

Hardy already has the bcm43xx and also b43 driver in it I believe just need to check whats blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file...

Fedora 9 has the newer .25 kernel and its wireless drivers (and also NetworkManager) is much better here.

edit: just browse around here for info - Welcome - Linux Wireless

Quickie post: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ub...ne/000434.html

The Gobuntu development team would like to announce that after 8.04
release of Gobuntu, the project will aim to merge many of the Gobuntu
changes into mainline Ubuntu, such as our "Free Software Only" installer
option which only installs software considered free by the Free Software
Foundation's definition of software freedom. This installer option now
obviates the need for a separate derivative project, and in the interest
of reducing the workload of Ubuntu core developers, the Gobuntu project
will instead focus on merging as many changes as possible into mainline
Ubuntu.

Got the mail yesterday. There are two side of this.. If Ubuntu removes more commercial codec it would be bad.. But on the other side Goubuntu release was never a clever idea.. I just don't understand the idea behind Goubuntu development.. After all its just a copy of Ubuntu
