Problems with Broadcom 4318

[notamuppet]

I've been trying to get my broadcom 4318 card to work by reading how-to's and even the thread in this forum on trying to get a 4328 to work. I'm running into errors left and right, though, and need help.

When I enter "lspci | grep Bro" , I get
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
02:04.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

I tried the command "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9" to install ndiswrapper but I get this:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Have you tried using synaptic ?

Also try FWcutter. I was using nsdiswrapper with my Broadcom 4318 and it was very flaky. I've ditched it now and using the device driver and had no problems.

How do I use FWcutter?

Here's a nice tutorial on how to set it up.

I tried that tutorial but when I run "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter"

I get "E: Couldn't find package b43-fwcutter"

You will need a working internet connection inside of Ubuntu and then you can try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
