I tried step 2a going off the "other bcm43xx" suggestion. After going through the whole process, and using the "lshw -C network" command, I don't have any "module" specifying ssb or ndiswrapper.
here is what it shows.

I tried the temporary hardy fix, it now shows the module=ndiswrapper, but I still don't have any available wireless APs.
Here is the hardy fix and the network readout after:

Anything I missed? Or should have done differently? I'm pretty capable with computers, but I'm new to linux. Any help will be greatly appreciated, if I need to post more info, let me know.
