I was having trouble getting WiFi connectivityl.

Preliminary Information:


 Toshiba Satellite A660 Laptop.

Running Ubuntu 14.04 only.


 So, I started with Ubuntu Wireless Connection Troubleshooter, followed
Steps 1 & 2, to find out the Wireless Interface.


 Finally ended up with: –


 *-network DISABLED

description: Wireless interface

product: BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter

vendor: Broadcom Corporation

physical id: 0

bus info: pci@0000:07:00.0

logical name: wlan0

version: 01

serial: e8:39:df:33:10:88

width: 64 bits

clock: 33MHz

capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical
wireless

configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl0 driverversion=6.30.223.141
(r415941) latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abg

resources: irq:17 memory:d7300000-d7303fff


Hum! Well, I know my limits. I believe I have to find some drivers that
will move the BCM4313 into action. Not sure how to do this. As far as I can
see from Step 3, there *are* no specific drivers for this adapter; so I
should find generic, or proprietary drivers and instal then.


Have I got it right thus far?


Any help etc.
