wireless network not working on ubuntu

[Agni]

Hi..

i have installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop. it also has windowXP installed. i'm able to access wireless network on windows but on ubuntu its not detecting it. when i connect it through a wire i'm able to access. i read on the net, seems my WAN card which i guess is a broadcom 4318 series is not supported and that i can apply a patch to make it work. can anyone throw some light on this?

edit: just to add that i have already installed the bcm4XXX firmware and related driver.

Hello,
My first suggestion is to upgrade to Ubuntu hardy (8.04) seem that with the new release is much easier to configure that kind of card:
