Ubuntu – Unable to connect to wifi on a Dell Inspiron e1505

I am using a Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop. I can connect with a wired connection but it doesn't pick up the wifi or I cant enable it at all. It's rather frustrating. Any help?

Have you tried System Settings -> Additional Drivers?

Try that but, I've noticed an odd bug when installing Ubuntu in PC's Using Broadcom, before Install you must check if Wifi works normally, if is not that way you should check System Settings -> Additional Drivers and enable them before proceeding the Installation. If you not do this, when you try to install the additional drivers after ubuntu installation they are never detected properly.
