Wifi is not working on my Dell E6400
I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Dell E6400, everything is working fine, except my wifi.
The switch on the laptop is on but still Ubuntu does not recognize my wireless adapter.
I ran the lspci | grep Network command and it shows this:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless
wireless

If there is a way to connect to the Internet, you can install the following packages in order to use wireless connections.
Open the Software Center and search&find&install these packages:
b43-fwcutter
firmware-b43-installer
or you can install these packages with a terminal command(Short cut:Ctrl+Alt+T):
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
If your pc haven't a another internet connection, you can download driver packages from the following urls.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/b43-fwcutter
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/firmware-b43-installer
Please, be careful of packages architecture(The packages architecture you will choose must be same as your Ubuntu architecture.)
After this operation reboot your system and connect a wireless network.

I have found that the 64 bit version of ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS will not recognize my E6500 wifi adapter but the i386 version of 18.04.1 does see it. If anyone has a wifi issue they should check the version they are running, stepping down to 32 bit might help.
