Trying to get my 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
working with my wifi. I just installed Raring Ringtail on this dell latitude D630 and I can't get it to connect without a wifi dongle.
This is what I got when I typed sudo lshw -c network
:

Also, when I go to additional drivers in the software and updates settings, no proprietary drivers show up.
I've tried sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
because it worked on a bunch of old Dell laptops that I converted over before, but it didn't work on this one. Is this driver even compatible with wifi?
Please help.
