You need to install the b43 driver, I believe

[PabloTempe]

Actually, you should be able to go in the package manager, and install the latest driver that comes up. I think they may have updated the driver for 10.04, but I'm not sure.

I'm de-grading back to 9.10, and loading the "b43cutter" driver for my laptop.

...sorry, b43-fwcutter. I believe this is a program which extracts the id info of your Broadcom 43XX wireless device, and then loads the appropriate driver.
