I am so new that instalation was earlier today. I like the premise of linux, chose Kubuntu cause it seemed to be easy to use. I have a laptop running a BCM4318 and plenty of ram and harddisk space. I can not get on the internet. I want to get the BCM43xx up and running so I can get on the internet. So far I cant even figure out how to instal the ndiswrapper installer. Found places to get the program and the supposed proper driver for this to work. I am just to use to XP that I am lost since I cant find an exe type program. I understand why but cant figure out how to make a program execute. No posts found about this, they may exist but I cant find them. I know there are others out there like me and I just want help making Kubuntu work. I want to stay in the linux realm but wont if it this PAINFUL to install necessary files. Maybe I am still to early in the game of Linux. I just figured that if it has been around as long as it has and is as popular as it is that maybe it would be a bit more intuitive than it is. Frustrated I guess, please help and speak english not linux.

I used the PDF format and search for ndiswrapper and found about 16 hits for it.
