What is your wifi card make and model? After you give that information we can
go to the next step. Eubie is great. I have that on my kids PC and lots of fun
stuff for the kids. Mainly you can install all those programs on Ubuntu. Just go
into synaptic and type in education and it will give a long list of stuff. Same
with games. A lot of the old DOS games can run with Wine. A program that runs
some windows apps in Linux. That can be found in Synaptic as well.
I am at not at home and I'll dig into your inquires a little bit more when I
get home. There is a butt load of games for linux and some are bloody. Most of
them are like G rating. BZ Flag a shoot em up Tank game is my fav game to play
on line with. There is one server is every one for them selves. RUN!!

Here is what I punched up on the Terminal.

OK here is the documentation you are going to need. If you get
lost. Scream!
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy

Those instructions did not work for me, but these did:

I am running HH on a HP Pavilion with a Broadcom 4315 chip.

Thanks! I finally got the wireless up and running (had to use wicd).
Now I want to work on the graphics for the 3-D and rendering and such.
This is what I have:

200M 5955 (PCIE) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

[virtual] Expansion ROM at c0120000 [disabled] [size=128K]

I tried the things on the Ubuntu wiki but have the "MESA" error. I
guess I could "start over". Basic graphics and online are no problem.
Any suggestions?

Go to Apps>Add/Remove and look for the ATI binary Xorg Drivers and ATI catalyst.
Install them and reboot.
