Hello all,
I am giving my grandmother my ancient Dell Latitude D830 Laptop. I want to put Ubuntu(or Mint) on it, as opposed to Windows. She is a malware/adware magnet, lol. However, I cannot for the life of me get the network card to work in ANY distro of Linux I've tried (even ones I don't plan on her using for troubleshooting's sake). It will, however, work with Windows 7. Any ideas? I've installed it from driver both from Broadcom and Dell's Support site. ANY help would be much appreciated!
Broadcom 802.11 Version 6.30.223.248
UPDATE: Just wanted to say I finally got the WiFi working with Mint. However, Cinnamon crashes with Chrome and Firefox. If it isn't one thing, it's another! Thanks again guys.
