Update

The problem about the internal wireless adapter is been solved, stupid as i was not reed first the tips and tricks from Wolfman : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2054
The Extra Hardware is in Synaptic > Settings > Repositories > Additional Drivers

But the wireless adapter wasn't working after that so i had to do some things differend
i opened the terminal and removed the drivers by:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source

and install this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer


restarted the computer and after that i was able to connect my secure wireless network

Thanks Wolfman for the tips and tricks

Sincere
