can't connect wireless after update to 3.5.0-26-generic

leptop- toshiba sattelite l650
network cards are atheros(wired) and brodcome(wireless)
if I return to 3.5.0-17 all work fine... but it means I can't update and upgrade without wireless going haywire

now it gives me this- iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions
lo no wireless extensions

P.s
any other info needed- will be provided :)

Let's find out exactly which brodcome you have. Please open a terminal and run and post:

Code:

lspci -nn -d 14E4:

Thanks.

I'll shorten it cause I'm working on 2 computers at a time XD
Broadcom Corp BCM4313 802.11b/g/n - - - (14e4:4727)

The correct driver for your device 14e4:4727 is the Broadcom STA driver provided by bcmwl-kernel-source. Can you load the module?

Code:

---

sudo modprobe wl

---

If there is an error, re-install the driver with a temporary ethernet connection:

Code:

---

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe wl

---

Now is it working?

nop.... "fatal: module wl not found"

As we expected. Please proceed with the next steps.

that after the next steps :\
I think it's because I have no wired connection.... I reacon it needs some internet connection to run the commands ....

well- just an update-
version 13.04 solved the problem entirely
thanks for the help!
