The story is that I've managed to install ubuntu on my windows 7 laptop and gives me the choice of which operating system I want to use every time the laptop boots up. However, I have internet on Windows 7. Yet, no internet on Ubuntu. The result I get with this problem is "Sorry, installation of this driver failed.

Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log."

What is even worse, I have to keep switching back and forth to figure out what you're responses are going to be and what attempts I've tried to get internet access to work on ubuntu.

You need to connect your computer with a cable to the Internet, once that is done follow the instructions on this page to install your wireless card drivers

That utility will identify your card, download and install the necessary drivers for it. After that you will be able to use your wireless card.

You need an active Internet connection for the utility to work.
