I am new to Ubuntu and I just put 13.10 on my computer. I not able to see any possible wireless connection. Usually, or at least with windows vista I am able to view wireless connections that my computer could connect to, but it only gives me wired connections. I already installed the Braodcom driver. Also sometimes the Ethernet stops working as well randomly.

Try this command on terminal,
sudo rfkill unblock all
And then search for wifi networks.
I also had the same issue with ubuntu 11.10, 12.10. BUT when I was trying to install ubuntu 13.10 , I checked the option of " Install this third party software " and it worked for me !!
