You should have it in additional drivers. But in case you do not, please read this.

Noteworthy excerpt:

Broadcom STA Wireless driver (Proprietary) For Chip ID BCM 4311, 4312, 4313, 4321, 4322, 4331, 4352, 4360, 43142, 43224, 43225, 43227, 43228, and others as suggested by Broadcom.

The propietary Broadcom STA Wireless driver is maintained upstream by Broadcom. As this driver is closed source, fixes in the driver itself may only be provided by Broadcom. As a convenience, Ubuntu offers two versions of this driver:

The bcmwl-kernel-source package aims to offer a later version for a given release. Instructions for installation may be found later in this article.

The broadcom-sta package aims to offer an earlier version for a given release. For further installation instructions, please see here.
