There's lots of people/places talking about how to get this card to function. None of it works for me.

Most of it, has been along the lines of grabbing some broadcom stuff off a repo, then your drivers will be in the additional drivers page.

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source sudo modprobe wl

That's sadly the only one I can remember trying (sorry, in and out of hospital, with lots of pain killers. Details are hard for me right now) But all things yield no results.

Ubuntu 17.10 64-bit budgie environment.

Thank you in advance to anybody who can help me not need this 200 foot cable, just to have internet.

Alright, first little update on my problem... Some further research on my own time, PCI ID 14e4:42a0 and BCM4360 are for my card, and reveal numerous amounts of information, most notably I've been looking through Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers Nothing has managed to get the card to be read by the system. Windows can read it fine however, so I know it is in fact functional.
