Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 wireless won't work now
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and my wireless network won't work now. The Network Manager says "device not ready (Firmware Missing)". What Firmware do I need? How do I install it? where do I find it? Please help and make answers as easy as possible I am not the best at computer talk. Thanks

Hi,
You need to install the following Broadcom driver package using apt-get or Synaptic package manager: bcmwl-kernel-source
This will of course require a working wirED Internet connection in Ubuntu. (wired, not wireless)
For example: using the Terminal, you need to run the following commands to install bcmwl-kernel-
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
Then reboot and retest wireless using Network Manager.
Regards,
Mark
