Sorry about the tardy response I got dragged away. The Wireless device is a broadcom b-g The howto is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Acer5021WLMi_Amd64?action=show&redirect=WiFi I searched synaptic and found all the gcc/cpp already to install. although it does not state amd 64 the install media was an amd 64 installer. I will go ahead and try to install the packages I have found ----- Original Message Follows -----

Hi All I am trying to follow a howto but have so far not been able to find

gcc-4.4-base_3.4.4-6ubuntu8_amd64.deb I googled it and returned a negative result. maybe it is a typo???

What wireless card are you trying to run?

Where is your howto?

I would say that you are better off using apt or aptitude rather than an exact version of package but not sure without seeing your how to.
