HP dv6-7013tx Wireless not working

[abhikandoi2000]

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my laptop but I am not able to run wireless network. Mine is a BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller. I am not able to turn on my wifi. It is orange light anytime. But the wireless works fine in Windows 7.

I have tried installing the drivers using ndiswrapper...but it just doesn't work.

Here are some of the outputs of commands.

sudo lshw -C network

If you have wired access to the internet you can type this command without the quotes in a terminal and it should get it working after a reboot.

"sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source"
