Ty for a response!

Before i saw this, i tried to reinstall it and it looks like it activated the wireliss this time, the blacklit.conf looks like:

#replaced by b43 and ssb
blacklist bcm43xx

But i still can't get it to connect to a network :(

btw - im new to ubuntu/linux

Your Terminal output shows the following issue:

# Warning: This file is autogenerated by bcmwl. All changes to this file will be lost.
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist eth1394
# replaced by p54pci
blacklist prism54
# replaced by b43 and ssb.
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist uart6850
blacklist twl4030_wdt

The b43 drivers are being blacklisted (=deactivated). But you need to activate the b43 to get wireless working.

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable)

Please copy-paste the following command into the Terminal and then press
<ENTER>:

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

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

blacklist b43

Using the gedit editor, SAVE the change to the

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file.

Please copy-paste the following 3 commands into the Terminal to use the b43 driver instead of the non-working wl driver:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter

Then REBOOT your PC and retest wireless.
