LSPCI: 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
http://www.divnut.com/Xubuntu/Screenshot_additional_drivers.png Whilst wireless networks were displayed when clicking on the wireless panel icon, I could not connect to my wireless router. Using synaptic I found the Broadcom-sta-common package was missing. also: dpkg -p broadcomm-sta-common dpkg-query: package 'broadcomm-sta-common' is not available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. After install of broadcom-sta-common package, I was able to connect to my wireless router.
