Hello everyone!
I am pretty new to Zorin, and linux in general, and am having problems getting my wireless internet access to work.
I recently installed Zorin Core on an Inspiron 1501 laptop. This is a dual-boot with Windows Vista. In Vista my network adapters are listed as Broadcom 440x10/100 Integrated Controller, and Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card. I do have access to a wired connection. When I go to "Additional Drivers" under "System Settings" and activate the proprietary driver (Broadcom STA Wireless Driver) my "Enable Wireless" option (shown when clicking the networking icon in the panel bar) disappears.
I saw in a similar post that it might be helpful to you guys for me to enter the commands
lspci -nn
sudo lshw -c network
sudo rfkill list all
so here is my output for that:
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! ^_^ Advanced Micro Devices
