As always, I encountred some problems, and I have seen that others have as well. I will try to spare some guys from the same trouble by making a "little helper" install...
now, the lspci on these laptops looks like this:
1) Start by updating your BIOS. The downloads can be found here.
2) Install Ubuntu, but on the boot menu, hit F6 and add the line "noapic" to the end of the line. If you don't use this the installation will take a long time... Or in my case, not work at all..
3) To set up the Wireless card is easy. The wireless card is not supported in the kernel, so we have to use a Windows driver for now. The driver can be found here.
4) You need to install ndiswrapper-utils and cabextract
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils cabextract
Your package system won't allow you to install these, you have to enable the Multiverse repository. Guide can be found here.
5) extract the driver with cabextract
sudo cabextract file.exe
6) Now we can use ndiswrapper to install the driver.
sudo ndiswrapper -i filename.inf
7) The broadcom driver needs to load some firmware before the device will work. Fortunately Dapper has a script to get this firmware for you.
sudo aptitude install bcm43xx-fwcutter
sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
8) Now, hit:
sudo ndiswrapper -m
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
The wireless card should now work, it worked for me...
9) If you want new drivers for your graphics card, there's a guide here.
If there are any problems or questions, you can post a comment.
Thanks to: Jon Are
for sources and the work he has put in to make a guide too.
