I am relatively new to linux. I recently installed it on windows pre installed laptop as dual boot and am having a major problem with it. The wifi keeps disconnecting for no apparent reason. There are many posts related to this problem but none of the solutions worked for me. So, I was wondering if someone could provide me a solution specific to my system.
I ran this -

My device driver looks like this. When ever I try to use the broadcom driver, my wireless vanishes.
Please help people.
Thanks in advance
