Re: Wireless support on Dell Inspiron 1440.
Your laptop uses the Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g.
To get your wireless working:
Put the LiveCD in your drive and go to: System, Administration, Software sources and check the box below "Installable from CDROM". Then open a term and do:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Then:
Code:
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
Now reboot and select the BroadcomSTA driver. in System, Administration, Hardware Drivers You may have to reboot again to get the driver working.
