Being new to Ubuntu :) here is the easiest way to detect and install the necessary driver.

1- Connect your Laptop to Internet using the ethernet port, then activate the detected driver (you will find it under additional drivers .

2- you may find some helpful print screens in the following article. http://itsfoss.com/install-additonal-drivers-in-ubuntu-13-04/

Thanks for replying. But nothing shows up under additional drivers. My old HD crashed and this is a new one. I installed windows 7, then ubuntu over it. – Mills May 26 '13 at 11:16

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe wl
