This is my first time asking a question on here, bare with me. So I have a brand new ThinkPad X131e with a Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n wireless card. I currently have it dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Windows 7 Professional. I am able to connect to wifi on Windows but not on Ubuntu. When I try to install the driver with the 'Install Additional Drivers' tool I get the the error

'Sorry, installation of this driver failed.

Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log'

Broadcom

I have tried using the firmware-b43-installer and b43-fwcutter packages, neither of which have done any good. I have tried uninstalling and re installing the bcmwl-kernel-source which did nothing. I have also been running

in between most of my changes and I have restarted my system multiple times.

I have also tried downloading the driver from Broadcom and following the readme file install the driver which did not work.

Please let me know if you know of anything that I haven't tried.

Thanks in advance.

The bcmwl-kernel-source package (For Broadcom STA Drivers) before 12.10 sometimes does not install the Linux Headers which gives an installation error if doing it via Additional Hardware or Jockey

So install the following packages using,

then reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source

Also can have a read here - How do I get my BCM43228 card working in mainline kernel 3.4 or higher? --> But this should not be the cause.
