Today i did reformatted my old HP laptop and installed a fresh copy of ubuntu. I was very excited to start over with a fresh machine. However to my dismay i found that the wireless wifi was not working.
Then Synaptic came to my rescue... It is a graphical front-end to apt, the package management system in Ubuntu.
First I had to install it using the below commands
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install synaptic
Then i opened Synaptic and searched for my driver. The beauty was all the dependent packages will be installed as well.
Then BOOM :-) the wireless is working... connected to my home WiFi and happy days....
