Wireless Card Driver for Dell Mini 1012 using Ubuntu 12.04?
6,626
Try with b43. Type in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
Since Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal additional installation of the package firmware-b43-installer can be helpful and/or necessary, respectively:
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
Under the desktop menu System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers, the b43 drivers can be activated for use.
Restart.

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Dell Mini 1012.
It seems to be running fine but I am unable to get my wireless card working?
I even plugged in my Ethernet cable and could not get an internet connection?
Does anyone have any ideas or a how-to? I can't wait to use the new O/S but would like to have internet too! :-)
