12.04 - Ubuntu is not detecting wireless router Cisco dpc3825. Newbie to Ubuntu, can connect via Ethernet cable, but no wireless detection



I am unable to see any wireless networks detected. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Windows 8 on a Lenovo G780 laptop two days ago. I can use the internet through an ethernet cable connected to my Cisco DPC3825 wireless router, or through Windows 8 wirelessly, but Ubuntu is not detecting any wireless networks at all. Updating the drivers is also not working. When I try to activate the Broadcom STA wireless driver, I get the following output:



Sorry, installation of this driver failed.




Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log



Here are some of the other outputs:



iwconfig shows the following:



eth0      no wireless extensions.

lo no wireless extensions.


lxcbr0 no wireless extensions.





rfkill list shows the following:
