I followed online instructions from an ubuntu forum site to install a driver for my wifi bcm:4311 that comes native to HP Presario F500 but no success. Regardless, the wireless card doesn't show at all when I lspci it.
I'm novice but I can follow instructions.....

The WIfi LED indicator remains on regardless if I turn on/off the switch. And I am unable to install the driver aswell. I followed instruction on an Ubuntu forum site askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers but no success
