Compaq nx7300

Hi - I have been trying to escape from the MS net for years and have installed several distros along the way. I have had 10.04 installed but seldom used for good while now. I had both wired and wireless connections.

I recently tried to upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 and after the first restart there were no longer any network connections.

A few days later I downloaded the 12.04 LST distro, installed and during the install there was a wired connection but as soon as I tried to install broadcom wireless drivers, I lost all networking connectivity again.
What can I do?

Post some information on your broadcom device and show us what you've done since the upgrade.

The PC is a Compaq nx7300 and I have seen various posts indicating that there is a problem with wired and wireless comms.

Thanks for offering to help but this could get complicated and drawn out.

I am getting a linux guru friend to to come around and help me. I will report back here on what I learned.
