Won't connect to internet
I just did a fresh install of ubuntu 12.10, and when I go to connect to the internet, the applet say "disconnected" in faded letters and won't give me the option to connect to a network. I also cannot connect via a physical line, with the same issue. How do I resolve this problem?
I have an old HP mini, if you were wondering.

What are the results of
Code:
sudo lshw -c network
(The above won't modify your system; it will only grab some info about your networking card and drivers.)

@Arendyl,
Try this:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge firmware-b43-installer
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
@Sowndefex,
does the output of
Code:
sudo lshw -C network
also return a line
Code:
product: BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY
for you?

No cigar. Unable to locate package error

Unless it has been removed between 12.04 and 12.10, it should be in the multiverse repository. Do you have multiverse enabled?

I have no idea. How do I check that?
Re: Won't connect to internet
In Software Center, Edit>Software Sources.
There should be an option like "Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse)". Make sure it's checked.
Then,
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
