Hello Ubuntu Forums,
I just bought an Acer Aspire 5560. I installed Ubuntu from scratch on clean SSD from Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit Live CD. The wireless worked (before installing updates) until I installed the Broadcom STA driver from Additonal Drivers in System Settings. Looking back on it, I'm not sure why I installed the driver if it was already working. Anyways, it said my Broadcom STA driver is activated but it wouldn't detect any wireless networks. So I tried many different things to try and fix this, and since I'm new to Ubuntu/linux I think I'm tangled. Where I've left off is, I installed the Broadcom hybrid 64bit driver from Broadcom website manually after I deactivated the Broadcom STA proprietary driver.
Looks like I still have 2 drivers installed though..
Here's the output to some helpful commands:
