hi guys, am new here from singapore.. need urgent help on setting up the wifi on mi mac for F10 .. am using a iBook G4

upon running lspci,

Code:

Network Controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54G] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller

however, it can detect any surround wireless network nor activate the wlan0 ..

any idea?

i thought it might have a wifi swtich somewhere, but there isnt any to find for. so what's next?

Thanks guys in advance!!

I just installed F10 onto a 1.5Ghz Powerbook G4 15" with the same problem. Wired Eth0 works beautifully, but I'm getting no signs of life on the wireless side, although the hardware appears to be recognized/installed fine. (I am a linux newbie, so I make no promises about that.) For comparison's sake I ran lspci as well and I have this:

Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

No visible networks. Connect to Hidden Wireless Network doesn't work either.
