I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my computer using Wubi recently, and I'm unable to connect to the internet using either Ethernet or Wireless. At first, it was showing these errors while starting up: ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode.fu" not found ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode15.fu" not found ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver
I was able to install the b43 driver and now it no longer shows those errors starting up and displays "enable wireless" when I click on the network icon, but neither ethernet or wireless work still.
I looked through some previous threads about this, but was unable to fix this problem using those solutions. Please help!
