I was unable to see wifi following a new Zorin install. I have since re installed and still cannot see wifi. Ethernet works and wifi works in XP on a dual install.
Here is what happened following instructions given earlier which I copied and pasted:

ray@ZorinDV1000:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
[sudo] password for ray:

ray@ZorinDV1000:~$ sudo modprobe -r b43

Ah it's probably a driver issue then. Similar to my post here. I have an Intel Ethernet controller as well, so it's just a matter of finding out how to install the appropriate driver for it.
