Can you try the following from the Terminal:
Code:
sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl
sudo modprobe wl
sudo iwlist scan
If it produces wireless sites, we will need to blacklist the b43 and ssb modules:
Code:
echo blacklist b43 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo blacklist ssb | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo wl |sudo tee -a /etc/modules
This will prevent the b43 module from interfering with the Broadcom STA wireless module and then load the correct module when you restart your computer. Hope that helps.
