Topic: Can't Connect

Hi,

I upgraded to Hardy this weekend, and ever since I can't connect to my wireless network. The network is visible in wicd, but it times out at the "Obtaining IP Address" stage. I managed to get it working in Gutsy, but I can't remember how.

My card is a Broadcom BCM4309, running on a Dell Latitude D600. Things I have already tried are:

Installing the B43 driver through the restricted drivers manager.
Manually downloading and extracting the drivers.
ndiswrapper (I'm not sure I did it right though)

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Thanks, but I already went through a bunch of threads on the ubuntuforums to no avail. After trying a different wireless card and still having no joy I just went back to Gutsy, which worked out of the box.
