Please do:

sudo apt-get update

Then:

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

Your device can only use this driver at this time.

  • actually his could also use the one from linux-firmware-nonfree and could have limited functionality with the legacy driver

  • and there's a question somewhere on askubuntu that goes into detail I just more or less remember what ones are supported and which ones aren't. I've had 12 computers, 8 dells 3 toshibas and my latest is an acer, each one had a different card but all bcmxx

it is a broadcomm bcm4312, so in the terminal while connected to ethernet type this: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source. linux-firmware-nonfree also seems like it would work for your device
