I'm having the same problem. INXI command returns that I have two cards, a Broadcom BCM4311 802.11a/b/g with a driver b43-pci-bridge and card2: Marvell 88e8053 PCI-E gigabit ethernet controller, driver sky2 and there seems to be no way to launch the wifi controller in the gui.

try installing this driver package from synaptic see it it will work for you.michael212 wrote:I'm having the same problem.

Re: Cannot connect to wifi
Strange thing is the wifi was there during install. The first thing the installer DVD asked for was login credentials for my router.
Re: Cannot connect to wifi
OK, I installed the firmware update like you suggested and still, nothing.
