I have a Dell Mini 10v. Latest version of Moblin. Connected to internet via ethernet. It says wifi is unavaliable. How do I fix this?

I'm getting kind of desperate....

This is my only computer (I'm 15 y.o.) and I can't keep it plugged into ethernet everytime I need to use the internet. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to reload Synaptic and install the restricted Broadcom wifi driver. That should allow you to set up your wifi connection.

Aye, I installed Network Manager and then loaded the Proprietary Drivers. 5 minute job.
