I have tried everything while googling and such to try to get my laptop to connect to the internet wirelessly through its bcm4306 integrated/controller wireless card. I've done my homework and here they are lspci, ifconfig, iwconfig, and lshw -C network:
Code:
natel@natel-laptop:~$ lshw -C network

I have seen resolutions for bcm4318 and such but nothing for bcm4306 even though they are on the same machine.
