    Grab a LiveCD if you font already have one: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

    Pop it in the CD drive.

    Go to the Synaptic Package Manager: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager.

    Click Settings > Repositories > Check the Installible CD-ROM/DVD and close.

    Reload the SPM.

    In the quick search box type: bcmwl-kernel-source. It should be the first one.

    Click the box next to in and click Mark for installation.

    Hit apply at the top and click Yes to everything.

    Restart and your good to go

    Hope this works for you.
