broadcom

I'm having serious problems installing the Broadcom drivers for Ubuntu. It worked perfectly on my previous version, but now, it is impossible.

What are the steps to install Broadcom wireless drivers for a BCM43xx card?

I'm a user with no advance knowledge in Linux, so I would need clear explanations on how to make, compile, etc.

lspci -vnn | grep Network showed:

Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b]

iwconfig showed:

lo        no wireless extensions. eth0      no wireless extensions.
