Re: [LUG] Mint XFCE4 wireless connection
The broadcom is the one. Run dmesg and see if there's anything in there about broadcom or bcm. A quick Google for bcm4318 reveals some discussion about it already.

I have run lspci. This is what I assume in the relevant part of the output
06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One
54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
06:06.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
is that what you need?
