-Hi, i am looking for help with installing the correct drivers for a broadcom 4311 NIC. I am using Ubuntu 13.04 on a dell vostro 1500 and this has been terribly frustrating. I have installed Ubuntu on three other dell's, two of which i had to import drivers via SD, all with Broadcom NICs. I Have never been so stumped.
-The major issue for me is trying to install driver/firmware with no eth or wifi to the laptop in question. I have tried to install the STA proprietary driver = no luck, tried the bcmwl driver = no luck' also tried installing b43-fwcutter/firmware-b43-installer and these won't install due to error during installation requires version (>= 015-14.1). Downloaded the required version and still get error message. I have followed several different posts that have variations of installing the drivers. Overall its becoming very irritating with all the different forums on this subject and i would like to hear what some of the people from the community think. Please Help!
