That may be too much of output. A better way is :
lspci | grep -i network

I searched the net, it looks like you have a broadcom chipset. Broadcom 
does not have open drivers and bcm43xx driver which doesnt always work.
Check this: http://ankurs.com/2008/04/installing-ndiswrapper-on-ubuntu-804/

Though you can still make bcm43xx to work, but it doesnt always succeed.
