i tried that route and no luck maybe it is me. I did the terminal commands and the wireless still shows as being off. Oh also when I plug a cable in it to connect to the router but it doesnt see the connection

[JosefF70]

Hey can anyone help me ? i cant even hook a cable up to it. I know the pc works i just wiped it clean from Vista and everything worked.

thanks Joe

Please follow these steps and report the output here:

I know, without a direct internet connection, it might be a pain to copy-and-paste the output. You could save the output to a text file, save that to a thumb drive, and copy that to another computer to paste it here.

You probably have a Broadcom BCM4311 though. I personally dislike Broadcom cards and avoid them when using Linux. The good news is: lots of people have them and you can get them working. Googling for "Ubuntu BCM4311" (once you've verified that that's the card you really have) might yield some more specific instructions.

If it does turn out to be the BCM4311 and you can get a temporary wired connection, the two commands in the following post would take care of your wireless.

Hi,you can load the b43 driver for your 4311 card without
internet access.

Download the b43 zip file to a flash drive then drag and drop the file to your ubuntu desktop. Right-click it and select Extract Here. Open a terminal and do:

sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/b43
sudo cp Desktop/b43/* /lib/firmware/b43
sudo rmmod -f b43
sudo rmmod -f ssb
sudo modprobe b43

[JosefF70]

ok i did all the commands to compile the data but I might have pasted some info in the wrong place

Hi you need..

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

but...you need a wired connection to get that and i dont have
a zip file for that.

How did you load ubuntu on that machine?
