i have ubuntu 12.04 installed in my dell inspiron 15R laptop but the wifi is not enabled
i have tried some solutions but it has not worked till now
when i use the lspci -vvv comand i get
08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4365 (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Device 0016
`Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-

the command lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 gave this output
08:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
one of the threads also gave a .deb file to install which gave me an error though i am unable to locate that thread now
i have tried installing and uninstalling b43-fwcutter
ando also installing and uninstalling
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
dosent seem to work
gksu jockey-gtk also doesn't show any options regarding wifi
i seem to have tried a lot of things and havent kept track so so i dont know the present status of my system :(
i do not know how to use ndiswrapper.
how can i get my wifi working? thank you.
