    Dell D530 Wifi Drivers

    I have an old Dell D530 and I can't run the wifi. I used the lspci | grep -i network command and the results are: 0c: 00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4311 802.11a / b / g (rev 01

    And until that point I arrive and I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help me.
    I don't know what I'm missing, I don't understand why in some distributions of linux or windows I don't have this problem. I am new to ubuntu and I want to have the system installed and working to be able to practice and learn, but without Wi-Fi it doesn't help me. Sorry, I'm using a translator.

    FYI, there's a sticky thread for everything related to Broadcom WiFi chipsets.

    This is the bookmark you should save for future reference. If you need to deal with another one in the future you can refer to this thread, the driver to install may or may not be the same, it depends on the specific model.
