Hi,
why would you like to use the proprietary drivers from Broadcom? the open source ones are better in linux.

if it is just an issue of installing drivers, chili55 would say http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2214110 that for a 4313 the correct command is
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD ... er/bcm43xx
..........if a fresh install, the linux-firmware-nonfree command should be all that is needed..............what else have you installed please?
If other drivers are already installed, advice seems to be to purge or remove them: of the "sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source" sort of commandsudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
