Ubuntu 9.10 Dell Wireless fix

I have a Dell D620 with a Broadcom Wireless Mini Card.  I guess I had to venture out on the bleeding edge and install this latest version of Ubuntu.  When I finished I found that my wireless was not working.  I found any number of secret incantations on the web that purported to fix it.   Here's how I did solve it.

I hooked via ethernet and performed all the updates.  I then opened Synaptic Package Manager and did a search on Broadcom.  I found a package called bcmwl-kernel-source.  I installed this pacaked and viola! my wireless works.

Woohoo!

Up to my neck

Wow I have been up to my neck in end of year deadlines and projects.  Unfortunately my postings have lagged.  When the new year comes I will renew writing more, but, I have even more deadlines coming up.
