Upgrade of Dell Mini 9 to Ubuntu 13.04

I ordered Ubuntu 13.04 on a 16 G thumbdrive from osdisc.com. The install was straightforward and it boots up fine. But the wireless card is not working. Next: Connect directly to router with ethernet cable and try these options. Another night.

    Didn't know you were a Linux guy, Jim. That's interesting to know.

    I was able to (using the instructions linked above) to get the wireless device driver installed. And it works like a champ.

    I picked up my son's Dell Mini 9 yesterday and imaged it with Ubuntu 13.04 today. Gave it to my neighbor's son - Jayden.

    Interestingly .... the 2nd install recognized the Broadcom wireless card and I didn't have to do any sudo installs
