My laptop and one of my desktops worked "out of the box" with Ubuntu, wirelessly, but my other desktop refuses to play ball when it comes to wireless. The adaptor is a BT Voyager 1040 (PCI) and I have the "bcmwl5.inf" and "sys" files but none of the procedures I've tried have worked. I'm totally clueless when it comes to using Linux commands in a terminal window, could some kind soul post an idiot's guide please? I've already got ndiswrapper and I've installed the "Windows Drivers" utility. Many thanks.
