[kwlug-disc] ubuntu 9.04 and broadcom wireless -- out of the box?

[Phil Longstaff]

Well, I can't verify it because I don't have a 4318.  However, I've found ubuntu to work out-of-the-box on laptops where I've had to download other drivers with fedora.

  i'd googled briefly as well, and i got the *impression* that it
would be good to go, but i just thought it would be nice to get
someone else to verify that.  thanks.
