Problems with wifi in ubuntu

Asked by dabomb980

I have a dell xps m1530 with hardy partitioned on it. I have ndiswrapper 1.50 and I haven't figured out how to install the driver for the broadcom BCM4312 rev 02 card. I have the driver from the list on the Ndiswrapper website, but when I run the program it says that my operating system is not supported. Is there a way to install the driver?

The Laptop testing team didn't seem to have any problems getting wifi running on your laptop. But here are the Wifi instructions.

and here is the laptop team testing page for your laptop
