Wireless doesn't work on Ubuntu 9.04 for MacBook 4,1

[MacIntel]

Sorry, but i have this question too i thought it would be better to make different threads for different problem. Recently i noticed that i cannot connect to the wireless network at home. after researching i found that the problem is not with my home wifi but with my MacBook Pro wifi adapter. Wireless doesn't work on Ubuntu 9.04 for MacBook 4,1. What possible could be causing this problem? I have no idea about this problem at all... So please help me with this on too. Thanks!

Did you try to use the ndiswrapper or the broadcom drivers? MacBook 4,1 has broadcom wireless i guess..? Well what problem do you face? Does it not detect your wireless network? Are you able to see if the drivers are installed? If not then try both ways : using the official drivers and using ndiswrapper. Run this in terminal and post what you get in output:

lshw -C network

Hope this helps...

I tried the broadcom drivers and also tried using ndiswrapper as suggested by a friend before, but that doesn't help... I got this output for the command to asked me to run :

I think you do not need to use ssb module here for your driver. Not sure but try to add the ssb module in the blacklist file and see if that works...

echo "blacklist ssb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Now try to probe the modules needed and see if that gets you going :

sudo modprobe wl

Do post back and tell us what happens...
