I am fairly new to Linux and I've been looking around on my own for a few days and I have ndiswrapper ( I don't really get how to use it, I'm also really bad at using linux along with being new to it. Along wiht that I've downloaded the proprietary driver of bc43 that it provided when I typed run command by right-clicking on the desktop, but my wireless card still seems to not be finding any internet connection. The broadcom card only shows up in the list when I have an external wireless card plugged into it but when I remove the external card the broadcom card is no longer in the list. It's pretty overwhelming for me.
Help por favor?

We are going to need more information in order to help you, please read the forum rules in the Red bar at the top. Incidentally if you speak Spanish natively, there is a Spanish forum that might be easier.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

Re: Broadcom bcm4306 help
I really don't comprehend the command line at all.
I'm fifteen and the only reason I'm using linux is the fact that my windows got the bluescreen and I have no cd drive to install another windows from.
I can say that I'm running linux mint 8 with KDE.
I'm not sure what other information is needed to diagnose this problem.

Re: Broadcom bcm4306 help
That's not a good reason to switch to linux - linux is not a free version of Windows and you're likely to be frustrated if you think it is. Perhaps you should look at your options before you go much further?Secindanthem wrote:the only reason I'm using linux is the fact that my windows got the bluescreen and I have no cd drive to install another windows from.
I'm afraid this sometimes goes part and parcel with solving problems in linux though not always essential.Secindanthem wrote:I really don't comprehend the command line at all.
I don't understand what you mean by this. If you have onboard wifi why are you plugging in an external one?Secindanthem wrote:The broadcom card only shows up in the list when I have an external wireless card plugged into it but when I remove the external card
