Open a terminal - to do this press Ctrl+Alt+T - and then execute the following commands :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo reboot
After the restart of the operating system you are able to use the BROADCOM wireless adapter.

Darn, it didn't work ): the option to connect to a wireless network isn't there – Ryanlf999 May 02 '16 at 01:04

@Ryanlf999 : When you click on the network icon your wireless network name should be shown ... click on it, enter your wireless network password and connect ... or are there no wireless networks offered at all ? – cl-netbox May 02 '16 at 07:43
