Still no wireless. Only the wired is shown on the panel.

It is pretty clearly an issue with the bcmwl-kernel-source driver. Without it, you are not blocked; with it, you are. Let's see what version you have:In 12.10, I have 5.100.82.112, the same as the latest on Broadcom's site. According to the README:Code:sudo dpkg -s bcmwl-kernel-source | grep -i versionWe might try compiling the newest version.ISSUES FIXED AND WHAT'S NEW IN RECENT RELEASES

+ Supports monitor mode
+ Supports cfg80211
+ Supports hidden networks

Hello, thank you for all your help, and sorry for not getting back earlier but the laptop was at service.
It was a physical fault of the motherboard, and that had to be fixed.
Thanks for all you tries and help.
