Try copying and pasting this command in the terminal (Applications>>Accessories>>Terminal):
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
This installs the latest fwcutter for the latest b43 drivers.

This is what I followed to set mine up (looks the same as mine):
Broadcom (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29)
My output:
lshw -C network
