[sf-lug] how to wifi a dell inpiron 1545 running ubuntu 9.04?

[jim]

   i'm trying to get wifi working on a new Dell 
inspiron 1545 with a broadcom chipset; OS is 
ununtu 9.04. seems a driver issue. (i can provide 
info later, when i'm with the computer.) 
   can anyone point me to a solution? i'm bored 
reading the same old google returns. it's a new 
install, so i can reinstall 9.10 if anyone thinks 
that would do the trick (after i get a 9.10 CD, 
of course). 
hopefully, 
jim
