Can't connect to Wifi with BCM4321 in Natty 11.04
Internal WiFi card (BCM4321 chip) won't connect. I've enabled the drivers using Additional Drivers in System Settings with no change. Also tried another fix that involved enabling B43 drivers but that didn't work either. Wired Ethernet works fine - I've also downloaded the latest system updates.
Below is the output from the diagnostic command given on this page: https:/
