I have ZORIN 9 ULTIMATE - 32 BIT on my Compaq Presariro M2000 Laptop installed great only problem it did not install a driver for mt Broadcom 54g MaxPerformance 802.11g wireless card I did a complete update after the install and it restarted but again the button you push to turn on the wireless did not light when i pushed it
it only saw the wired line in from my router.
Do you have any idea what i can do where i can get a driver for it or will this card not work with ZORIN 9
this is my first post I hope i did it right as i have a head injury so sometime i can not say or type it with out erros
Thank you for thank you for your patience and understanding

I decide to put it back to windows XP and when i did the card starting working
so i guess it will be a windows machine I even went to system tools and update drivers it saw the card but when installing the driver for it had a error
oh will
my other 80 laptops will be Zorin
Thank you I guess the Compaq M2000 are a picky machine
Thank you again for trying
