Please go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, and attach a screenshot if there is anything related to your wireless card there. I believe that this is not a bug, and can be fixed very easily.

- $tar xjvf broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
- $sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta.o
