i have installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Lenovo G550 laptop. It has a Broadcom 4312 wireless lan adapter which is not working.

How do I fix it. How can I see what drivers are being used.

I'm new to linux. I just started working on ubuntu 12.04. Wifi is not working on ubuntu. It works on Windows 7 though.

just like that its gone....
