Ok, I am a complete beginner when it comes to other OS. My Wireless adapter is Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN, and I cannot get it to work on Ubuntu, which I installed with wubi. If anyone can please give me a complete how-to, it would be nice...

I've read other posts, but could not understand stuff such as ndiswrapper/ terminal, etc...

Please Help! Thanks A Lot!

First thing you need to do is go to "System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager" and click on search. Type in "ndiswrapper" within the search box and you should see a list of ndiswrapper programs:
ndisgtk
ndiswrapper-common
ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Select to install all of those....

Next bring up a terminal and type:
lspci | grep -i network

This will tell us what wireless card you have...

Report back........
