I think that you are trying to use the wrong wireless driver.

Please try the b43 driver and firmware instead of the wl driver.

Please copy-paste the following commands into the Terminal (using a working, WIRED Internet connection):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer

Then please run the following command:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Using the gedit editor, please REMOVE the following configuration lines in
the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file:

blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy

SAVE the change to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file after
removing the configuration lines.

Then reboot and retest wireless.

If that does not help, please install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and then redo the procedure I just gave you.....

Can you help with this problem?
