I performed the following after downloading the requisite files: wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o and broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2

sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o

sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta_mimo.o

restarted and

On http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Known_PCI_devices, it says
PCI-ID State Chip Driver
14e4:4315 in progress BCM4312 802.11b/g - low power b43

So, does it mean that the driver is not available yet?

in linux, no news is good news, so if you don't get an output from a command, it worked

My wireless still doesnt work yet!!

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

any solution for this yet?

still need the new drivers

I could still not fix it. Here are the details once again:

You must select the firmware with the same ID as printed by the kernel driver on modprobe. Note that only recent drivers print such a message on modprobe.

Some other important information:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 states:
PCI-ID State Chip Modes PHY version Driver
14e4:4315 supported 2.6.32 and later BCM4312 b/g LP b43

4315 is not in this list: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/devices

I would be glad if I can find a proper way to get my WiFi working on Ubuntu.

Hi,

I first suggest performing a CLEAN install of Ubuntu 10.04. Make a backup of your personal data and /home directory before doing the install from a LiveCD session.

Once Ubuntu 10.04 is installed, you need to install the following Broadcom driver package using aptitude or Synaptic package manager: bcmwl-kernel-source

This will of course require a working wirED Internet connection in Ubuntu. (wired, not wireless)

For example: using the Terminal, you need to run the following commands to install bcmwl-kernel-source:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install bcmwl-kernel-source

Then reboot and retest wireless using Network Manager.

A similar explanation can be found at the end of this thread:
