What version of Ubuntu are you running, now that you have it running?

EDIT: Nevermind, Just seen your last thread, 10.10

Can you open a Terminal

Applications > Accessories > Terminal

and paste the following

iwconfig

then hit enter

Does it show any wireless devices attached?

also could you paste the output of

lspci

We can get your exact wireless device this way

Super, thanks for confirming that. Do you have access to wired internet? If you do you could simply go to System > Administration > Additional Drivers and install the Broadcom drivers for your wireless.

I will go wired and try it out now.
Thanks.

Connect to your router with an ethernet cable, then open a terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

Then go to System>Administration>Additional Drivers and activate the STA driver.

No problem, if it doesn't show up straight away try performing some updates.
