I have recently installed Ubuntu 13.10 on my DELL laptop Inspiron E1505. It seems to work okay except I have yet to be able to connect to the wifi in my home. I have googled several answers on here but none have seem to work for me.

I cannot seem to find the "System Settings -> Additional Drivers"

I am a n00b but following all the advice from posts. I have gotten this from the terminal.

john@john-MM061:~$ iwconfig 
lo        no wireless extensions. 

john@john-MM061:~$ iwconfig

john@john-MM061:~$ sudo modprobe rtl8192cu 
john@john-MM061:~$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

john@john-MM061:~$ rfkill list all

john@john-MM061:~$ rfkill list all 
john@john-MM061:~$ rfkill list all 
john@john-MM061:~$

If I have to connect via ethernet cable, I know to plug it in but when I did that...still nada.

:) Thanks in advance!

Try install the broadcom driver and wireless tools packages:

sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-common wireless-tools
