Hi,
setting up my trusty old acer aspire 5100 to dual boot to Linux Mint 14
LXDE.  Works great except the wireless nic is not detected, Broadcom 802.11
b/g.  I dont see any restricted drivers prompt to install.  system
information only shows the eth0, the wired network interface. I went into
synaptic and installed bcmwl , an two other things that started wtih
broadcom.  tried using the windows wireless drivers, but that didn't work
either. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Anthony
