Wireless Internet Ubuntu 15.10

Question

I have a PC with a wireless network adapter called: ASUS PCE-AC68

After entering the command lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 I can see it is found and called:

Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11account wireless network adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03). Kernel drive: bcma-pci-bridge

My problem is that I don't get the option to find wireless networks available, only Ethernet is an option for network.

So I did all he wrote, but I'm obviously unable to update and the bcwml-kernel-source is still not located as before. This is so frustrating... — Varyag, Mar 04 '16 at 16:38
Can I download the bcwml-kernel-source on my phone and then transfer it to the pc? — Varyag, Mar 04 '16 at 16:38

I had the same problem and I believe I solved it with installing the following in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

and then reboot.

It says: "unable to locate package bcwml-kernel-source. Where can I get that? – Varyag Mar 04 '16 at 15:48
Nope. Still says unable to locate :-( – Varyag Mar 04 '16 at 16:25
Do you have a ethernet connection to locate the packages? – Martin K Mar 04 '16 at 16:51
You could try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/588091/problem-installing-broadcom-bcm43142-on-hp-pavilion-15-p073tx-nb-pc – Martin K Mar 04 '16 at 16:54
The link that was given in the answer gives error 404 :-( – Varyag Mar 04 '16 at 17:02
I'll try to use ethernet connection and the rerun the lines I've been given about the bcwml-kernel-source. – Varyag Mar 04 '16 at 17:02
