I have recently installed Dragora on my laptop (easily thanks to the installation guide) however WiFi is not working. How can I fix that ?
Here are the lspci infos about my WiFi card :

I would appreciate any help that you can provide.
I hope you can make a wired connection while you solve this problem.
This is a common problem, as the exact chipset is a variable with Broadcom. With the detection only almost certain, the correct drivers do not always install. key is this string

Broadcom Corporation BCM4313
You want to do a search for BROADCOM on your Repos, and read the descriptions of the packages, and install the one that most closely matches the BCM4313 device you have. A little Google research may be in order.
The solution is readily available in Debian and CentOS repos, but you may have to install manually for D/Libre.
I have run into this at least four times that I recall, and was always able to solve it by just installing the correct package. Only once did I have to back out my first choice and install a different one.
Once you get the wifi working, the wired connection becomes optional.
I've found the adequate driver thanks to Ztcoracat (this one), but when I try the make command it says :
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make: *** /lib/modules/3.2.15-smp64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
What should I do ?
PS : How can I stop that kind of "error" sound that plays for certain actions (it seems to occur whenever I press the delete key in order to delete a file or a folder) ?

Look in the directory of the driver and see if there is a make file.
Is there one?
Make sure your in the right directory and the exact path to the file 'make' is looking for.
It's a .deb package so it's fairly easy to install on a Debian based system.
Just use gdebi or become root and install the driver with dpkg --install (name of driver)-

Dragora is not based on Debian, it can only handle packages ending with .tlz.
Just as a thought, you may need to consider moving to another distribution if you want and are unable to get the wireless working. Ubuntu and Linux Mint, as an example, make this process a lot simpler for Broadcom chips.
