Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I'm running an up-to-date ubuntu (Gnome) Dapper Drake installed from a flight 7 CD. I can't get the network manager package to recognize my broadcom card (using ndiswrapper). The card by itself is already working with the regular gnome networking application. But, the features of the network manager make it a "great to have" application for any laptop user.

If the adapter is configured in /etc/network/ interfaces, network manager won't "see" it. Remove any configurations from the gnome networking app.
Be aware that if you connect to an unencrypted wifi network, you'll likely encounter bug 42504.
