No wireles on 10.10 (nor on 10.04)

Hi there
I have a problem with my HP dv6 2050eo after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 and then to 10.10. The network manager doesn't show the available wireless networks in 10.04 and 10.10.
If I boot up in windows or on a live cd with 9.10 (and when I had the 9.10 working) the networks are visible and available.

I have this info from the 10.10 with the ethernet working.
