I've been trying to get a ubuntu linux distro working on my computer the past day or two, and have everything working fine, except for my wireless card. I used the command

lspci -nn | grep 0280

and the response I got was 

04:05.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02)

Anyone know why I'm fine with Wired connections, but Wireless doesn't even find my network?

Sounds like your wireless card is turned off in software even though it's got power. Go into the control panel and look for an On/Off switch graphic and make sure it's set to "On". I had the same problem with my laptop and that was the solution.
