Wifi/Graphic Driver Fix

---

By Using the command :

sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

This worked to re-instill the wifi drivers now my wifi is working.

Now i was thinking maybe this will work for the graphics driver for ATI/AMD cards.

So I tried to re-instill the graphics drivers and it worked.

Command for graphics fix was:

sudo apt-get remove fglrx
sudo apt-get install fglrx

As you can see, now all seems to be working.
