Hi All, I have never used Linux before in my life so have absolutely no understanding of it at all so I'l applogise in advance for being such a newb.
I have installed XBMCBUNTU on a spare laptop (ACER 5715Z) all has gone well until I come to realise I have no Wifi, I have tried googling all day but nothing has worked so I'm desperate for help.
The Wireless Card Model is a BCM4311
There is a wireless button on the keyboard but that is not lighting up when i press it (it was working fine before I installed XBMCBUNTU over Vista)
Would the os need seprate drivers for this switch and could that be why it does not light up or will the switch work as normal once I hae the problem with the card sorted out?
A lot of threads say in UBUNTU open application drivers & enable the card from there but I cannot find the application drivers screen anywhere on XBMCBUNTU
If there is any logs that I can post that may help diagnose the problem please let me know what commands to run and I will get them.
P.S I have established a wired connection
