Linux mint broadcom 802.11 issues

[TProductions]

I just installed the most recent linux mint 15 and have no access to the internet only ethernet connection but my local library wont let me plug their cord in....
I am running windows 8 at the moment but I need to find out how to get my broadcom driver to work without the internet..please!!!

Try here http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 there is a list of supported chips and instructions.

Also, this is a programming forum. Please go to the lounge next time or perhaps post on Mint's forum.

Is this even meant to be in linux programming?

Lots of ppl get this problem

Just search google. You will get loads of answers

[S6k9GNh0]

No because it's not oriented with programming.

Ok..I found a new issue...I rebooted my pc and found that the driver has not been invoked for some reason...so when I scroll over where the wifi sign used to be...there would be the ethernet icon with no wifi part after that...what do I do to get the driver to work and be active on boot?

You can bridge with Linux as well with iptables. :D
Also, read the wiki.
