So, I am sitting on a brand-new installation of 12.10 64bit, alongside windows 7 on a brand-new computer. Right after installation, the wireless worked, however, after installing the 97 updates that were needed and rebooting, there is no wifi to be had (ethernet works fine though, that's how I'm posting this). I have looked in software sources, and it claims that the proprietary driver is being employed.

From another thread (here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1816292), I saw that the below information might be useful?
Code:
lspci -nn | grep 0280
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359]
Of course I also tried the fix from that thread, but that gave me nothing - at the end I just got the message that "this card has not actually been tested, please install the driver manually", or something along those lines.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: I apologise for the uninformative title, don't know what happened there.
