lo        no wireless extensions.

After using this lspci -knn | grep Net -A2

You need to install bcmwl-kernel-source.

For installing this go to your terminal and give sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source command. Do a reboot after completing the installation and give this sudo modprobe wl command on the terminal.

Hope that's gonna fix your problem.
