[EDIT] - ok, so i installed linux mint.5(not 4, sorry!)

 

i can't get the wireless to work......

when i try to get the "Broadcom B43 wireless driver" enabled, it tells me:

"While this driver itself is free software, it relies on proprietary firmware which cannot be legally shipped with the operating system. Your hardware will not work without the firmware."

 

i don't know what that means........ help??

this means you have to download and install the firmware for the wireless card to get it to work
