I have just put a fresh version of Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit on my dell laptop, and I'm having a problem connecting to the internet.

Before I installed the os, I tryed it out, as they let you do before a complete installation. While testing, I was asked if I wanted to install the proprietary drivers for the broadcom nic. When I did this, I was able to connect to the internet, however, after the install, I can not seem to update the drivers.

Maybe this was automatically done during installation and now there is another problem, but when I try to connect to my network, after I click connect, it disconnects right away and I am entering all the information correctly.

Does anyone have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

Are you sure the card is being found and setup on boot? What does the output of lsmod and ifconfig show? This post looks like a good place to start http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...driver-569627/
