All the modules works fine with this machine but i have to configure wireless connection only to make it works.From the previous 8.04 beta release,i have to install ndisgtk,ndiswrapper-1.9 and ndiswrapper-command in terminal


phyz@phyz:~$ sudo apt-get ndisgtk ndiswrapper-1.9 ndiswrapper-command


and install the driver for Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI which is provide for windows 32bit,bcmwl5.inf

then test the wireless connection by;


phyz@phyz:~$ sudo rmmod ssb
phyz@phyz:~$ sudo rmmod ndiswrapper
phyz@phyz:~$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper


then to make it run during the start up just add ndiswrapper in the last line of /etc/modules

save and reboot.
