Hadaka,
How would I determine if I have broadcom [14e4:4365]? I really don't wanna do anything else until I figure this out. Sorry, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff.
I typed the command "lspci -nn" into terminal and got the following.

I figured out that I have the Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:4365]. I also haven't figured out how to delete my post here. Sorry about that. :-/
I"m going to try what's in the link you sent me. I'll report back as soon as possible.

Craving anchovy, herring and squid pizza.....with clam sauce
I figured out that I have a 32 bit system.
I typed the following prerequisite commands and got the following.
bigjoey@bigjoey-Inspiron-5720:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r | grep -Po "\-[a-z].*")
[sudo] password for bigjoey:
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
linux-headers-generic-pae is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
bigjoey@bigjoey-Inspiron-5720:~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
dkms is already the newest version.
build-essential is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I then downloaded the package in the following link.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n76dcsdtay...55.19_i386.deb
When I typed the command "sudo dpkg -i" it said...
bigjoey@bigjoey-Inspiron-5720:~$ sudo dpkg -i
[sudo] password for bigjoey:
dpkg: error: --install needs at least one package archive file argument
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages[*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Options marked[*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !
After following the steps in the thread you linked me to, I downloaded the 32 bit version, placed the file on my desktop and typed the following command.
"cd Desktop
sudo dpkg -i wireless*.deb"
Everything seemed to be working fine until I got an error message that said "The System has encountered a problem". A few seconds later, a crash report window popped up that said...
"Sorry, a problem occurred while installing software.
Package: wireless-bcm43142-oneiric-dkms"
When I clicked "Show details I was met with another crash report"
I'm going to reboot and see if anything is different.
Hi, the fist link is to ONLY download the 32bit .deb file, dont issue the commands
on that page.
The second link is the how to open the .deb file and the commands you SHOULD
enter.
