Hi, my name is Megan, I am having a huge issue with my Dell inspiron 6000 and the effects the new ubuntu 10.10 is having on it. I switched this morning and forgot to back-up some of my drivers.. most importantly my wireless driver. My computer now fails to get a connection or even recognize that there is a connection it could well connect too.
I have tried everyting every one has said before... i went in to terminal to install fakeroot,patch,bcmwl kernals and dkms ect ect.. I know that i have a broadcom bcm 43xx wireless card and that it worked this morning.. and that f2 and fn should turn it on. but nothing seems to work.. please help. I am just about to start going to school again and using the internet is a big must for homework..and i would also like to use what i pay for.. thank you
