[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1173761@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Both during and after installation, 13.04 doesn't support the Broadcom-
based 802.11ac wifi chipsets.  lspci reports it as "Network controller:
Broadcom Corporation Device 43b1 (rev 03)".

WORKAROUND: 6_30_223_95 driver in
http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/drivers/broadcom/ , install an old
version: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/amd64/bcmwl-kernel-
source/6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu3 (found at
http://gaspuu.blogspot.no/2014/05/dell-precision-m4800-with-ubuntu-
linux.html), or simply replace the wifi module with another one with
better driver support (if laptop has no whitelist for modules).
