WLan doesn't work

Hi folks,

Yesterday, I have installed Ubuntu Mate and it’s my first time operating with Linux (needed several tries though, until I have had a bootable USB stick… but seems to work now :slight_smile: )

I have installed Ubuntu Mate on my old iMac: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.4-20-inch-aluminum-early-2008-penryn-specs.html#macspecs1

Just to give it a try before I decide to install it on my new ThinkPad Carbon X1 (which I will buy in a few weeks).

Now everything is set up but my internet does not work. I can’t connect to my WLan (nor can I find/see it). I guess the driver for my network interface card is missing. I have no clue what to do or how to solve this problem! I don’t even know what kind of driver I need :S

I really appreciate your help!! Thanks in advance.

bests,
Alex
