dell vostro 1000 broadcom wireless connection
- by lorrenuy
I have a problem with the hardware broadcom wifi.
I press the hotkey fn+f2 to activate the hardware and this will not work.
I'll look at the drivers but it appears to be installed.
How can I solve this problem? Ubuntu is all new to me so if possible, give me a clear explanation. Now do I connect the lan cable. I use the Ubuntu 11.10
