Dell/ Broadcom 1390 WLAN Minicard

First, I would like to say that this is my first experience with Linux. I have been looking for a replacement for XP on my old Latitude D620, and Zorin Lite seems to fit perfectly. Well, almost. So far the experience has been great. It's snappy, comes with everything I need, and was easy to set up.

I wiped my hard drive and did a full install with wired internet. Once it was complete, I started Additional Drivers and it concluded that I needed proprietary drivers for my wireless card. I installed them, and it said I needed to restart. I did so, but when I restarted and unplugged my ethernet cable, I still had to option for WiFi. Now, when I open Additional Drivers, it says no proprietary drivers are installed, and that none are available.

Hi,

using your "Network Cable", run "DPKG" per the update guide and be sure to check your software sources download location is set to "Main":

Please wait for Madvinegar to advise you further on the WiFi problem but updating fully might solve that!.

Let us know if this helps.
