I am using Ubuntu 12.04 on my Dell Inspiron 1545 and I can successfully connect to the Internet using an Ethernet cable but not when I try and connect through the wifi.

Any help would be appreciated.

My Wireless Card Details:-

Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)

Please obtain a working ethernet connection, open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer

After it completes, detach the ethernet and do:

sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43

Your wireless should be working. In a few cases, it takes a reboot.
