lscpi -vnn gave following output PCIID 14E4:4315 Broadcom USB 4310 Wifi this blog gave some information http://www.colinblog.com/2008/04/how-to-install-broadcom-bcm4310-usb.html Colin's Blog: How to install Broadcom BCM4310 USB controller driver in Ubuntu regarding the windows driver .The windows driver is here http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R174291.exe after I unzipped the R174291.exe and went to DRIVER_US there was bcmwl5.inf file which is the required file as per the information given on the blog. So I did r...@localhost root]#ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf r...@localhost root]#ndiswrapper -l showed me that device is present and it loaded the said file but r...@localhost root]#modprobe ndiswrapper give error FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
