How do I go about setting up wireless using Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro? I'm so new to this that I can't even figure out what kind of card I'm using!
What version of Macbook Pro do you have?
There is some good info that you definitely need to read:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
Once you figure out which version you have, most of the wiki pages will detail how to setup wireless for your version.
This is what I do to figure out my wireless card:
Code:$ lspci | grep 802.11
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
I have a Macbook Pro 13" from mid 2009. That command doesn't work for me for some reason...
