<application>NdisWrapper</application> is considered the wireless fix-all for Linux. A great percentage of wireless adapters that are not supported natively or with other utilities are supported with <application>NdisWrapper</application>. Install <application>ndiswrapper</application> by using <application>Software Management</application>. If you are uncomfortable with installation practices then it is advised that you review the <ulink url="help:/kubuntu/add-applications/">Adding Applications</ulink> document.

Now that you have the driver files extracted, navigate with <application>Konsole</application> to the directory with the driver files. Next you will use the <application>bcm43xx-fwcutter</application> utility to install the drivers. To do so, at the prompt type <userinput>sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/$(uname -r) bcwl5.sys</userinput>. You may receive a couple of warnings which are nothing to worry about. If it didn't work, it will provide an error that states either driver isn't supported or the driver is to old. If this is the case, you would repeat this step using one of the drivers from the list in the <filename>README.gz</filename> file shown above. If you continue to have issues, connect to the Internet with another source and review the following sites: <placeholder-1/> If you continue to have issues with loading the drivers, then you may need to use the <application>NdisWrapper</application> utility.

Now if you went through the driver installation without any major errors or issues, the next step would be to load the new module you created in the previous step. At the command line type <userinput>sudo modprobe bcm43xx</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. To see if the module loaded and is working, at the prompt type <userinput>iwconfig</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. If it works it should return the name of the interface as <acronym>ethX</acronym> where X is the number of the device. In most cases it may be <acronym>eth1</acronym> if you have a <acronym>CAT-5</acronym> Ethernet device already installed and configured. Also to test and see if your device can scan, at the command prompt type <userinput>sudo iwlist ethX scan</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. Don't worry if it reports <emphasis>no networks found</emphasis> as your connection may still be working. Test and see if you can connect to your network and the Internet. If everything has worked then you will want to add the module so it will load at boot. To do so, at the command prompt type <userinput>sudo sh -c "echo bcm43xx &gt;&gt; /etc/modules"</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>.

Due to similar issues of that with a Winmodem, installation and configuration of a <acronym>USB</acronym><acronym>ADSL</acronym> modem may require lengthy procedures depending on the type of modem. For further installation information, pleas refer to <ulink url="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem"/>. You will of course need another means of connection in order to review this documentation.

Software modems, also known as Winmodems, are the type that are usually built into the system itself whether it is a desktop or a laptop. These modems are usually connected to a <acronym>PCI</acronym> port inside of the computer or a <acronym>USB</acronym> port outside of the computer. There are still quite a few of these types of modems that are not supported by Linux due to the type of binary driver or firmware they use. Winmodems supported in Linux are also known as Linmodems.

Unfortunately due to the many different types of chipsets and the work involved in getting a Winmodem installed and functioning would be difficult to document in this one location. However, there are already documents out there to help you in your success at getting your Winmodem to work with Kubuntu. Not every Winmodem is guaranteed to work, but there are utilities out there to aide you in getting a supported Winmodem to work. The following links will hopefully provide the information needed to get your Winmodem working.
