My netbook reports having a "Network controller: Broadcom Corporation
BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)". It's currently running Ubuntu 10.04, with
the proprietary broadcom drives (installed by the handy "Hardware
Drivers" application). I didn't have to do any work to get it going ...
just installed the driver and all was seemingly well.
This is not intended as a "my distro is better than <insert other
distro>" - just a data point that it worked fine for me.
