Need a BCM4312 driver download for Ubuntu 11.04

Asked by Andrew Tedder

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 (I'm a first time linux user) on a Dell Studio 1735 where it is now running alongside Windows. I seem to be missing the appropriate drivers for my wireless card (BCM4312) and I am uncertain as to where those can be gotten. Any help with a link or instructions is appreciated.

This tutorial seems to answer your question pretty well:

One option to keep in mind is running the windows driver via ndiswrapper. In certain instances (particular cards) this is the only way to use it, Though I suspect you won't need to do this.
