WIFI still does not work, I tried several options. Is there something that will work 100%? I expected that linux will be easier!

I have LUBUNTU 14.10.

First I tried:

sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

And ... does not work.

Then I found the discussion to another command. For this to me disappeared and LAN, so that I was completely cut off from the internet and I had to reinstall the whole Lubuntu again :(

linux-headers-generic

On the contrary, the third time I found a script that ZEPRO works. And ... does not work.

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter

I tried to insert the * .inf driver of WIN7 for my wifi card via WINE - Ndiswrapper. Hardware not found, but the configuration - adding wifi, again nothing.

WIFI is working and even finds SSID, but when I enter the correct WPA password, it does not connect WIFI. I also tried to reset the password of the WIFI router , but the notebook does not connect via WIFI.

First of all, ndiswrapper is not required. Let's remove it:

sudo apt-get purge ndiswrapper-common
sudo rm -rf /etc/ndiswrapper

Make sure that the needed driver is loaded:

lsmod | grep b43

If not, let's load it:

sudo modprobe b43

If it didn't load automatically, it is probably blacklisted somewhere; check:

ls /etc/modprobe.d

Once you post the result, we'll find and remove the blacklist.

Finally, be certain the wireless switch or key combination is set to enable wireless:

rfkill list all
