I have been using Ubuntu for about 1 month on my desktop PC and it"s awesome! But I put it on my laptop this week and the wireless hasn't been working... I thought I'd see if I could fix it, but so far no luck. I followed this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)
when I get to step 5 it doesn't work, meaning I get an error.
"trevor@trevor-laptop:~/ndiswrapper-1.46$ make

I have followed this tutorial to a T and this is the second time I have attempted to get this wireless to work. The first was in Hardy Heron and I followed a different tutorial, it didn't work at all and I scrapped it and formatted my HD to put Ibex on it (my laptop is just for kicks, and now to learn the Terminal and such in Ubuntu) Any help or hints would be awesome as I am tied to an ethernet cable right now..... and it's annoying.
More info:

I know ssb shouldn't be there... but I have no clue how to fix it.
Thanx in advance for any help!
