I'm new to linux and installed Ubuntu 13.04 32bit on an older Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop. Both the wireless and wired ethernet connections are not recognized. I would appreciate any help getting either working but wireless would be the most useful. The WLAN card is a Broadcom BCM4311 b/g internal card. Please help Ubuntu power users, you are my only hope!
