Nevermind I figured it out myself download the latest linux generic header and image and also download the latest bcmwl and dkms .deb files onto USB and then copy to Ubuntu desktop and then open terminal the 4 debs still on the desktop then type cd ~/Desktop Then type sudo su Then type dpkg -i *.deb Walla close everything then open system settings then click software and updates the click additional drivers it should say using broadcom 802.11 Linux sta wireless driver it should say you need to restart the computer to complete the driver changes boom lick restart then your finished everything should be fine put this post as solved
