I have tried many solutions found in aksubuntu, but no luck in getting the wireless to work on this computer. The wired connection works. Below is the wireless information.

01:01.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) 
    Subsystem: Linksys WMP54GS v1.1 802.11g Wireless-G PCI Adapter with SpeedBooster 
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 22 
    Memory at feafe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] 
    Kernel driver in use: wl 
    Kernel modules: wl, ssb

All available updates were downloaded and installed 09/01/13. The b43 cutter and installer were tried and the placing of the '#' in front of the blacklisted bcm43xx has been tried (# bcm43xx). Hardinfo was installed also. I am new to Linux, but I am determined to learn all that I can to get this computer fully functional on this os.

You need an ethernet connection then please do:

sudo apt-get purge --remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
sudo modprobe -r wl
sudo modprobe -r ssb
sudo modprobe ssb
sudo modprobe b43

This should be blacklisted.

blacklist bcm43xx

Edit: Also

blacklist wl
