Hey guys, i just installed Karmic on my Macbook pro 4.1 and i cant get wireless to work, ive searched and it says it should work out of the box, after activating the broadcom driver, problem is that it will not find the driver when i go to hardware drivers. The card itself is working, infact i am on it now typing this from OS X. How can i get Ubuntu to see my drivers?

sudo apt-get bcmwl-kernel-source

Be sure to have an internet connection (wired)

EDIT: nevermind, used an exernal wireless card to connect and activate the driver, thanks!

sorry, my bad. It should have been:

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
