Thanks to binarylife!!

Worked for me with an Acer Aspire One (10.1 inch display) and Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition.

Before, I had tried that standard procedure of Ubuntu to install the binary driver for the Broadcom WLAN device. It failed. The b43-fwcutter method also failed ("unsupported low-power device"). But your post showed me the way

I just want to thank Binary for posting this solution; it helped me solve all of my wireless connection problems on my Dell Inspiron 1525 (after I had searched for a solution for hours to no avail).

Thanks! You saved me a lot of time!

Hellow fellows! Firstly I would like to thank to binarylife for partial solution of my problem.

How I resolved the problem:

sudo apt-get --purge remove firmware-b43-installer
sudo apt-get --purge remove dkms
sudo apt-get --purge remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo reboot

As you can see I had to remove firmware-b43-installer firstly. Without that I couldn't remove dkms and bcmwl-kernel-source (it returned error). Anyway, my wireless now works thanks to binarylife.

Thanks for this. I didn't even think to uninstall b43 first. I, too, was getting the error when trying to remove dkms.

These exact steps fixed wireless in my cousin's HP 1000
