    [SOLVED] Wireless Card on Dell inspiron 1721

    Hello. I have Dell inspiron 1721 with broadcom wireless card (didn't memorise all stats but I think they are all the same on any Dell).
    I've just installed kubuntu 10.04 and the problem is that there are no drivers for my wifi card.
    When I've had ubuntu installed before, it found the wireless and the needed drivers (some restricted or something).

    Just wondering is there a quick way to install them and why kubuntu didn't install the wireless automaticly.

    Tnx.



    <EDIT>

    Wait, found the solution. I needed to connect my laptop via wire and download all the drivers on the aplication Hardware drivers.
    After that (and 2-3 restarts ) it was ok.

    I think the same thing happened to me. I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and lost my wifi.

    I haven't been able to figure out how to get it working again.
