i am new to ubuntu, but have an it installed on 3 laptops. IT is working great on 2 of them. the Dell inspiron 5160 is an old machine but i am trying to get it working for the kids. when i test the hardware, it recognizes that the network adapter is a Broadcom BCM4401-BO and the wireless is BCM4306 802.11 b/g. I am not that worried about the wireless, i would like to just get the wired connection to work. I have searched online and found some driver packages but when i try to use RPM it states i need to download the program, no can do due to no internet. i tried the tar method and that errors our talking about custom flags or something. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
