[ubuntu-in] Problem installing Maverick on lenovo

[Rohit R]

The program jockey (system->admininstrator->additional drivers) works only
if you have an internet connection. Also I do not think Broadcom STA driver
comes with the Ubuntu CD. Easiest way out is you to get a temporary LAN
connection and try installing the driver from synaptic.

Or else you can compile STA driver from source. Follow the instructions in
the blog
