    Yes, the same way as before: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers

    Yes, choose the "Current" recommended driver.

    Have you got the "restricted" sources enabled in "Software Sources"?

    Check your repos in system>administration>software sources and make sure all are checked off.

    If as you said, you have just installed the RC, you may need to update your sources to get the drivers to show.

    In terminal type

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
