I bought a used lap top (Dell D620) for my daughter for Christmas and it works great accept after I loaded Ubuntu the wifi card is not there. It was there when windows was loaded but I wiped it. I have seen a few posts on the topic but the threads are a little confusing. Can anyone tell me how to get this lap top to see the wifi? I'm a little familiar with the terminal emulator on Ubuntu

Thanks

Typed in "b43 driver" in the Ubuntu software center and down loaded Firmware installer for the b43 driver and re-booted… poof the wifi is up and rolling
