[dserban 0]

It is very common that the only thing that doesn't work on a fresh Ubuntu install is the wireless.

Here are easy, fool-proof instructions for how to get wireless working in Ubuntu 7.04 if it's not working because of the common bcm43xx problem.
Requirements:
1) Ubuntu 7.04 installed
2) Internet access - on the same computer (maybe using a wired connection) or on another.
