The wifi chip is a usb thing that works well with ubuntu and fedora.  The ethernet is built in.

Ethernet cards that plug into PCI or similar internal slots are not very expensive usually. If you do have a card and not something onboard, I would recommend replacing it. Broadcom hardware does tend to be a bit of a pita on some Linux distributions. Wifi is the worst, but ethernet can be problematic as well.
