They are restricted drivers (non-free) so they won't include them on the main distro, like the restricted extras (java, libdcss, flash)

It's a shame, but it only takes a minute to get them working:


sudo aptitude install bcmwl-kernel-source

or

manually download it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/bcmwl-kernel-source

I've got the wireless to work in previous versions but it still annoys me. I'm just looking at the fact the drivers are freely available from Broadcom but aren't included.

what the hell? The source code is included? I don't understand why are they restricted then

Maybe a bug report should be filled so they are included.

EDIT: Rigth, the license that broadcom releases the source code, clashes with the one from Ubuntu main category so they have to move it to the restricted area.

Sucks

The new kernel reportedly fixes the bug in 9.10 kernel that causes Guest OSes to run like shit under virtualization. Can't come soon enough, since my Windows 7 runs like a dog using Virtualbox on an i7.

Wow that's a bug in the kernel ?

I use Ubuntu on my Work PC and all my VMs under VMware are dog slow (compared to when I ran Windows as my Host OS).

I need to backup and install 10.04.

So, I'm having a hell of a time getting the Microsoft Core Fonts to work.

I've installed the restricted extras, and I can confirm that ttf-mscorefonts-installer is installed. However, none of the fonts actually seem to be installed at all.

Nothing shows up in OpenOffice, and my internet browsing is still using the Ubuntu default fonts.

 

[2Good4u]

Please help me, I really want wildcards in hosts file.
I am using the Hosts file to block ads malware and phishing sites (http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/) and because it's superfast, much faster than squid, privoxy or opendns.

So please help me promoting my idea (at least for me)
