What chipset is the wireless? lspc will tell you:

$ lspci

Is it?
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)

Have you loaded the wireless drivers?
System|Administration|Hardware Drivers
(note: you'll need to use a direct connect of course).

If the drivers are loaded & activated, then I'll look here:

<https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=BCM4312+%2BVista&field.actions.search=Search>

Subtitute 'BCM4312' with the proper chipset if BCM4312 is not correct.


The controller is Broadcom BCM5784M rev. 10

Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5784M Gigabit
Ethernet PCIe (rev 10)

is the hardwired ethernet nic, so I suspect that you have the BCM4312
wireless chipset. You still didn't answer my question as to whether or
not you have the wireless drivers installed via
System|Administration|Hardware Drivers - what does that show?

You're right. How about the Intel 5100 instead?
System|Administration|Hardware Drivers shows no proprietary drivers in use.
