Me and my brother just installed Linux today me on my desktop and him on his laptop. We both have wireless cards installed and connect to the internet through them. First he installed Ubuntu but it didn't detect his wireless card so he installed Kubuntu, but that didn't work either. When I installed Kubuntu on my computer it installed the wireless card automatically. He installed Linux on a newer laptop that came with the wireless card installed, it was working just fine before he installed Linux

For the most part, at least based on my experience, most Linux distros only support the Intel wireless chipset. Support for Broadcom and Motorola wireless chipsets is slim to none. I've found drivers for them but they're a pig to install and get working.

Sorry, in spite of the undeniable fact that it is real.
