From: Dell Upgrade to 13.04 & 13.10 No wifi, graphic card driver and bluetooth Problem?
Wifi/Graphics Driver Fix
I used the commands:
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
This worked to re-install the wifi drivers and now my wifi is working.
I was thinking maybe this will work for the graphics driver for ATI/AMD cards.
So I tried to re-install the graphics drivers and it worked.
Command for graphics fix was:
sudo apt-get remove fglrx
sudo apt-get install fglrx
As you can see, now all seems to be working.

Ddownload two .deb packages: dkms and bcmwl-kernel-source.
Install it! It is works!
Edit: the easiest way to install these packages is using apt. Open a terminal (Alt + Ctrl + T) and type:
sudo apt-get install dkms bcmwl-kernel-source

Either you download the .deb file and install it with "sudo dpkg -i
" **or** you just issue the "apt-get"-command which will try to download it by itself and install it. – MadMike Jan 10 '14 at 16:25
