I have this wifi card.

Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 05)
Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Marvell Yukon 88E8058 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13)

Out of the box with ubuntu , I had no wifi connection what-so-ever. It even said there where no wifi card installed.

But I checked the hardware drivers and it looked like this.

then I disabled the Broadcom driver, rebooted, enabled it, rebooted. and now atleast in the network manager I have the checkbox for "Enable wireless" and it says activated and currently in use.
