Linux on my D530, no wifi
I have a Latitude D530, just installed Ubuntu 8.04 and it seems that Hardy Heron cannot locate the wifi card (internal). I've tried a re-install of Ubuntu, adding applications, software, searching for available wifi networks, creating a network; nothing works. Any suggestions? Could Broadcom not have released the driver for this wifi card?
Thank in advance.

it's a dell chip (actually broadcom 1395).
I should note that I'm running on the wubi version of 8.04 ubuntu.
I have an Inspiron laptop at home and the wifi works just fine via ubuntu.

^ indeed ... next question was what if anything is in messages ... anything about missing firmware?
wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
that's what I used before for the firmware for those cards
enjoy -- definitely follow the link posted above
