b43 driver blacklisted by bcmwl-kernel-source -> eth%d: 5.100.82.38 driver failed with code 21 -> Wireless Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [14e4:4311] (rev 01) not working on Dell Inspiron 1501 in Ubuntu 11.10

Please respond with Y to the continue question, and paste the results here.
You could also search this site for 1501 and see what other solutions have been suggested to similar problems.
Most likely, you did not add the needed firmware, which is available when you install package b43-fwcutter (answer y to the download offer), or package firmware-b43-installer. If you have added any other dirvers like the Broadcom STA driver, you should uninstall/deactivate it, remove any lines exactly like "blacklist b43" from any file in /etc/modprobe.d

Aaargh!

I selected Y and didn't copy.

I've been unable to successfully add the firmware, which WAS available when ATTEMPTING to install package b43-fwcutter.

Sorry...this was what I got:
