I need some details about your setup. What operating system are you using now? Also, what steps have you taken so far with the Ubuntu and Linux Mint installation?

It appears the card was detected, yet the kernel module wasn't loaded. Verify the connection.

To install a Broadcom kernel module in Linux, follow these instructions: Find the module file. Broadcom kernels are generally found in the /lib/modules/<version>/broadcom folder. Launch a terminal and navigate to the module directory. Execute the command to install: sudo insmod <module_file>. For instance, to install the wl kernel module, use: sudo insmod broadcom/wl.ko To confirm installation, check the output: lsmod | grep wl. If successful, you’ll see a confirmation like “module wl.ko loaded.” To remove it, run sudo rmmod <module_name>. For automatic loading at startup, add the module name to /etc/modules and save. Reboot your system. Keep in mind, Broadcom modules may occasionally pose challenges—refer to their documentation if issues arise.
