I need help to fix wireless connection for the HP Mini Net Book.
I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as a replacement for Windows 7 Starter which was pre installed on the HP mini netbook.
After the installation, everything seems fine except for the wireless connection. I can't connect to my home wifi network.
Thus I can't download all the update for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Anyway I found the thread where you can look into the status of the wireless. Here are the result when I typed it on the terminal:

Then I tried to install b43 file and still no luck
I am new to Ubuntu. Please I need help to fix this problem. And i need step by step and with plain english. As i don't really understand with the linux sudo languange.
FYI, my HP mini doesn't have ethernet cable connection. So the wireless is the only way to connect to the Internet. If I need to download a driver to fix this problem. I will use my other laptop then put into my USB then transfer it to my HP mini.
