I have an Inspiron 1525 with windows 7 on it. I shrank the partition and installed Ubuntu 16.04. I now have no way to connect to the internet via WI-FI in the Ubuntu GUI. I swap to Win7 and have Wi-Fi just fine. Should I try a wired connection and do the upgrade or driver installs or what??

I am user Cr33pD3ath got a New user name and email. I found the Driver issue resolve from this page: (Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers) Just a note after: [sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer] [sudo reboot]
I had to follow up with:
[sudo modprobe -r b43]
[sudo modprobe b43]
[sudo rfkill unblock all ]
Once that was complete No-Fi issue fixed!! Wifi is on and working great, so far. Thanks for the help!!!
