Hello
I've just purchased a Toshiba Satellite L670D laptop and installed Ubuntu 10.10. Everything works fine excepting the most important thing, the wireless internet connection.
I've ran the test which said "Unclaimed" and then I followed the procedure to install a Windows driver. The installation program says the driver is installed but the test still shows "unclaimed".
I am really stuck, any ideas please?

I also obtained the driver for Ubuntu but the "readme" file suggests that it takes such skills to install that I do not have.

Thanks for your help

Yes, because I realized I was in the wrong place "Installation and updates".
Thanks
