Help!

I am starting to get frustrated with this ubuntu operating system! I
received this HP Mini 1000 as a gift with ubuntu installed on it. When I was
out at a wifi location to receive the internet, it wanted to update the
software so I figured what the hack! Right and update is a good thing! It
will give me 9.0 upgrade and things will go good! BOY was I wrong! 

 

            First thing that happened is that I lost my connection before it
was completely finished. The program did not want to come back, finally I
downloaded the 9.0 onto a USB stick and installed it that way! Problem over
right? WRONG!  I lost the drivers for the Broadcom 43 drivers to connect
wireless to the internet! And can not connect to the internet with my cell
phone because it will not recognize the drivers for my Motorola V9mm phone!

 

            Does any one have any suggestion? I would really like to get the
drivers back on the wireless BCM 4312 802.11b/g so I can at least connect to
the internet! I have tried to reinstall them and download them but they will
still not recognize them. Tried to install the fwcutter tool and activate
the file for the drivers but it times out or tells that it is corrupted!

 

Thanks
