I'm having problems connecting my WIFI in Ubuntu 13.04 .

So I was wondering if filling in the data manually ie: the IPv4, IPv6, the SSID and BSSID info etc. I did try this before but maybe I put in the wrong data or maybe not enough.

Would that make it work?

I just don't know how to find out some of the data you need to put in?

I'm new and it's confusing. Does anyone know the solution?

Here is lspci:
