I found this driver, which i believe is the correct one.
not exactly sure what I need to do to install it , though.

how do I get this driver installed?

What WiFi chip is the system using? If you run
sudo lshw -C network
You’ll be shown

Your link has install instructions

Option 1: Use pre-patched source (recommended)

Copy source to DKMS location sudo cp -r . /usr/src/broadcom-sta-6.30.223.271 # Build and install sudo dkms install broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271 # Blacklist conflicting drivers and load wl sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl.conf <<EOL blacklist brcmfmac blacklist bcma blacklist b43 EOL

(that’s from the readme file but the formatting is blown out. Gives you the text to seek in the file though)

You’ll need to install the build-essential package if you go down this route but I’m suspecting that the additional drivers app already has a suitable package available to use
