help with linux drivers please...?

[D Matador]

i recently installed linux mint 7. the internet is not working and i am trying to activate the bcm43xx driver in order to get the wireless internet connected (i am not sure if this is correct) and i am just a little lost. how can i get this driver to make it work? how can i get the other ones needed for graphics and whatnot?

you can find a driver here for that card - http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/You gave me nothing to go on for your other hardware..

The bcm43xx is one of the more difficult for a person new to linux to get working. Here are some links that might help.If you tell us the info (brand and model) of graphics and whatnot we can try to help.Good luck
