you have to have bcmwl-kernel-source from 10.10 installed, the 11.04
version is broke.
Download it from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/bcmwl-kernel-source
After you download it, remove 11.04's version from repo, I usually use
synaptic to search for it, then install the 10.10 version (You don't need to
bcmwl-kernel-source's dependencies from 11.04, those are fine). After thats
installed, go back into synaptic, find bcmwl-kernel-source again and this
time, select it, and goto "Package > Lock Version" to prevent it being
upgraded back to the broken natty version. After all that, restart your
computer and it should be working again.
