I am trying to learn using ubuntu. I installed ubuntu on my Sony Vaio. The installation was successful. But I couldn't connect to the wifi. When connected to the ethernet it works fine. How do I connect to the wifi?

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && \
chmod +x wireless_script && \
./wireless_script

I used the above command and got the following output.

That wifi card should work with

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

Or you can download from a mirror site http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/amd64/bcmwl-kernel-source/download
