NX9105 Wireless not working

Question

I am using my old hp-compaq NX9105 laptop. I installed 12.04 and upgraded to 14.04.

Problem is that wireless is not working. No wireless is detected. I installed the b43 driver as described here, but no luck.

Please, any ideas? A step-by-step walkthrough would be great!

Here is the output of running lspci -vnn | grep Network

 02:02.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03)

Please post the output of running lspci -vnn | grep Network in terminal. to open terminal press ++ — αғsнιη, Sep 18 '14 at 11:08

I installed the b43 driver as shown here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43. But, following the instructions it shows that my system uses wl driver, not the one I downloaded. I can't put wl in blacklist. Am I in the right path? — George Papalampros, Sep 19 '14 at 07:49
SOLVED. I followed this guide and it worked! Thanks! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20Internet%20access — George Papalampros, Sep 19 '14 at 08:40

just run following command in terminal one by one:

sudo apt-get update
sudo update-pciids
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
sudo reboot
