Subject: BCM4303 (rev 02) Wireless doesn't detect APs

Hi,

I need help.

My BCM4303 (rev 02) does not work on Linux 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri
Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux.

dmesg:

#iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 No scan results


I tried installing ndiswrapper but does not work either.

Does anyone know why?

Regards,

The last message says that your radio kill switch is off.
