I have a Dell laptop and I would very much like to be able to use wireless networks. Running lspci, I find that my network controller is
Code:
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
I go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, and I find the "Broadcom STA wireless driver", which I would very much like to activate. So I click "Activate" and type in my password, and nothing happens.
I try to reistall the driver directly from the installation CD (/media/cdrom0/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl) and then I can see that I get some error messages in the terminal, which you can see below.
Code:

This is as far as I get, are there anybody who can help me? (I apologize that some of the language in the terminal is not English, I hope you understand it anyway.)
