i have a old HP Compaq NX6125 with a new lunbuntu 14.04 32 bits install , but the wireless card is not working

I have already done this steps and the wireless leds on the laptop are on but can't see any where the wireless interface , cloud`t do the last two steps .

sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter

Then Reboot
And you need to activate the card from settings/network/wireless make it ON
After this search for wireless icon at the task bar and look for your wifi.
