    Wireless connection in lubuntu 11.10

    I am not new to Linux so to speak, but I am having a problem I can't solve on my own. I'm using a Dell Latitude D600 laptop with a Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g wireless card, and I am not able to connect to my router wirelessly .

    The last time I was using Ubuntu on this laptop I just went to Start> Preferences > Additional Drivers and installed fwcutter, but this option is no longer there. I tried installing fwcutter from the synaptic package manager. Nothing, so I just uninstalled it.

    I tried installing Ndiswrapper from the terminal. Nothing, so I just uninstalled it. I am not entirely sure what to do next, so I need some help solving this problem. I know you guys need more information than this, so what ever you need to help me I can get.

    Re: Wireless connection in lubuntu 11.10

    After updating (if one can call it that now) to 11.10, my Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g wireless card does not work (firmware missing). I have a Dell Latitude D610. Does anyone have any step-by-step instructions on updating the driver for this wireless card?
