Networking :: unrecognized wifi card... help please



Hello im new to DSL and linux, i just aquired a new Dell inspiron 1501 with a dell wireless1490 dual band wlan card, chipset BCM 4312/ BCM 2050.
I booted DSL with no problem from live cd everything seems to work except for the network. Am I not able to network because my card is not supported? Is there something i can do to make it work? Any help would be great. Thanks
will ndiswrapper help? If so how do i set it up to find my wirless card and drivers? Im using the LiveCD Im not sure if I have access to my drivers on my hard drive when i boot from the cd any help would be appreciated. Thanks
According to ndiswrapper. It uses Chipset: Broadcom BCM4310 (rev 01). This thread may help you.
You can use backup/restore into a USB Pendrive or HDD. It will save /home/dsl and /opt for you.
thanks for a response i copied dsl to ram and then was able to put a drivers cd in. Now im lost again how do i access the cd so i can copy the drivers?
You can use Emelfm ... on right side ... open /mnt ... then you will see cdrom/ ... right click ... select mount
Now, you can select files and click copy button.  :D
