I've just installed 11.04 on MBP, so I'm gonna answer my own question:
WiFi works. Not exactly out-of-the-box though. The solution for 10.10 I've googled has helped in my case.
The original solution:
- Go to System>Administration>>Synaptic Package Manager and in the search bar,
type
bcm
.
- Make sure
broadcom-sta-common
and broadcom-sta-source
are
installed. If not, mark them for
installation, close, and reload.
- Make sure
bcmwl-kernel-source
and bcmwl-modaliases
are installed.
If not install, reload, and then go
back and mark them for reinstallation.
Then reload.
- Restart your computer. It won't tell you that you need to restart, but
it is necessary nonetheless.
- After you have restarted, click on the network icon at the top and click
on "Connect to Hidden Wireless
Network..."
- Enjoy your wifi connection...hopefully.
Actually in my case I didn't have to install bcmwl-modaliases
, nor did I have to use hidden network option (Ubuntu detected all networks perfectly).
External monitor works, almost OotB. All you need is to install
disper
to actually activate it.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:disper-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install disper
