You first need to connect your laptop to the router with Ethernet cable in order to get internet access for downloading the necessary drivers. Then follow the steps below.

  1. Open System Settings from the Launch Bar.
  2. Click on Software Sources
  3. Click on Additional Drivers tab
  4. Select Using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary)
  5. Click on Apply Changes
  6. Restart your laptop.
  7. Set-up your wireless after logging in.
