I have just purchased a new Netgear N600 WIFI USB adapter for my desktop that currently runs ubuntu. I am new to ubuntu and still unfamiliar with it.
If anyone could help me get this set up on my computer I would greatly appreciate it.

Your Broadcom USB wireless usually works with ndiswrapper. Please obtain a temporary internet connection by ethernet, tethered or whatever means possible and open a terminal and do:
Now download the files at post #6 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2052594 Drag and drop the file to your desktop so we can find them. Right-click and select 'Extract Here.' Find out if your system is 32- or 64-bit:
Now we install the driver files:
If your system is 32-bit (i686), install the 32-bit driver file:
And if it is a 64-bit (x86_64) system:
In either case:
Your wireless should now be working.
