I installed Ubuntu for the first time on my hp g7v laptop. I cannot connect to the internet with a wired or wireless connection. I am only minutes old in the Ubuntu world so I require detailed information. I know I need to install b43 but I cannot connect to the internet.

Are you sure about your laptop's name and why did you choose 11.04? – Hckr Nov 10 '12 at 0:22
Mint 12 dvdrom and it would not connect to the net so that's what it installed – Jay Moun Nov 10 '12 at 0:24
