I have a brand new Dell XPS 15. I dual boot it with Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.10 The Wireless Network Adapter is
Broadcom BCM4352 802.11ac
with PCID [14e4:43b1] (rev 03)
.The 4352 is not included in the list for installation via
bcmwl-kernal-source
file. I tried this anyway, but the Terminal command led to the file starting to install, but then stopping. Sometimes I get a permission denied error message.As a result of reading and trying all advice from forums I have decided to completely reinstall Ubuntu 14.10. I doubt my particular Broadcom Wireless Card has no support on Ubuntu 14.10?
- Broadcom wireless adaptor I downloaded windows 10 the day after release. Everything worked fine until yesterday, when I got a message saying broadcom 802.11g is not supported, it seems it was, up until then.

Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter Driver is licensed as freeware for Windows 32 bit and 64 bit operating system without restrictions.

The 14e4:43b1 device isn't yet included on the many guides because we're not quite sure how to get it working yet. We are happy you've volunteered to help us!
Asmedia usb3 0 controller driver. The most likely driver is bcmwl-kernel-source. Let's try again:
If you haven't any other network connection available, you may follow this process to get the files from the install USB: Unable to connect to any Wifi in Ubuntu 14.04

I know this question is pretty old, but here's what worked for me:
- Download the current STA driver from Broadcom's website at http://www.broadcom.com/support/?gid=1. Create a new folder and move the downloaded file into it, then cd into the folder. Expannd with
tar xvf <filename>
. - Unload the current STA driver by running
sudo modprobe -r wl
. - Remove the current driver's package with
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
. - Install the new driver by running
make && sudo make install
. - Load the new driver with
sudo modprobe wl
.

Had the same problem with Ubuntu 18.04 on Dell XPS 13 9343, where the wireless adapter recently stopped working after an upgrade. The proprietary driver (
bcmwl-kernel-source
, which is the only one that supports BCM4352 802.11ac) would not load:As it turned out, you need to switch off Secure Boot in order to activate this (updated) driver. The easiest way to do that is installing
shim-signed
and following the required steps:If it's already installed you can use the following to enroll a new MOK:
After a reboot the adapter is working again.

I'm on 18.04.2 Cinnamon 4.0.6, Thinkpad T420 BCM4352. This thread still appears relevant since some people like me have old hardware.
I installed via:
Watched it build the firmware into initrd file in /boot partition, rebooted, and voila. WiFi active, was able to join an SSID listed in Network-Manager right away.
Couldn't have been easier.
