I also have wireless problems under F12. In my case the problem has to do with network strength. I have a laptop that dual boots Windows 7 and F12. Under Windows 7 I can see and connect to more wireless networks than I can under F12. In all cases that I have tried if the signal is low or poor F12 will never succeed in connecting, but W7 will. I have tried both the internal wireless (Intel 3945) and an external Linksys USB adapter. Even if the signal is good F12 will not report available wireless connections.<br>
<br>I normally run F12 so if there is anything I can tweek on F12 to improve accessibility I would like to know.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Paolo<br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Dec 26, 2009 at 3:16 AM, Adrin Jalali <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adrin.jalali@gmail.com">adrin.jalali@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Check to see what dmesg says. You may need the broadcom firmware, and<br>
you may need to install it manually. Usually it goes into /lib/firmware.<br>
You may need to install b43_fwcutter as well as b43_openfwwf. But first,<br>
check dmesg to see if it is complaining about firmware. My laptop has a<br>
Broadcom card, but it is currently running Ubuntu, and installing<br>
b43_fwcutter automatically obtains and installs the firmware.<br>
