Installing Linksys WPC54G on Ubuntu Dapper is somewhat easy. First you need to install the firmware extractor:
sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
After that you have to download the drivers from Linksys (or use the CD that came with the device).
After that you have to extract the contents of the zip file and open the console on that directory (if you use the CD it’s on the CD path):
bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ Driver/NT/bcmwl5.sys
Unplug and plug your card again.
Done! Now you just have to configure it ;)

This little bit of info that you've provided is totally awesome. I've trawled the linux and ubuntu archives for a way to get my Linksys WPC54G v1.2 card working and found nothing that works, except this!
Thanks.
are those drivers for the wpc54g v1.2?
