You could try using Ndiswrapper. I thought this was fixed in an update way back.
If you want to use Ndiswrapper, try this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)
Original older bug?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/206277

Whenever my Wireless doesn't work out of the box, I usually use Ndiswrapper.

ok i'll try this out and i'll tell you the result thanks :)

No problem, but the first link should actually be this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29

hi ,
i setup all the requirements and i get an error message when "make distclean"
i tried to search for the solution but nothing helped me
sorry i cant upload the image now because the internet isn't working on windows so im using chromium os flow
but i'll try to make the program using chromium then installing it on ubuntu maybe it'll work

cheers

[gayden]

hi again,
i can't compile it using chromium os flow because there's no header files for it.
so il try 2 things
1- using online compiler
2- is a question , can i compile using g++? if yes tell me how.

thanks in advance.

[Vakman]

Sorry, what exactly are you compiling?

[gayden]

hi ,
i dont know exactly im just using this command : make distclean and it doesn't work so i tried make and it did the same and here's the error message:-
http://www10.0zz0.com/2011/08/24/14/203873930.png (http://www.0zz0.com)
( what the hell should i use google translate with arabic websites to upload a .png photo? )
anyway i recently installed backtrack5 and it works perfectly

anyway thanks for trying help

[Vakman]

Yes, that was another option, some distros have better support for wireless.
In regards to photo uploads, I would just put the images directly here when uploading or use imgur (http://imgur.com/).
Also, there should have been a deb package made for Ndiswrapper and you just grab the inf file from the windows driver to install it with Ndiswrapper. I never had to compile anything.
Glad it all worked out anyways.

[gayden]

ok thanks for the website + the problem was that the windows driver was .sys file and i didn't find the package bcuz there r another packages not installed
