Thank you so much for the reply! I just got home and ran through the steps, first removed/purged bcmwl-kernel-source and rebooted, then followed the next 3 commands up to iwconfig. The wireless was then re-enabled and I was able to use it...however I was wary as a reboot has removed the positive changes every time in the past. I decided to reboot to test and indeed my wireless is gone again. I am going to post my updated wireless-info.txt as well as the other commands:

Again, thank you so much for the help and let me know if I can provide anything else to help!

EDIT: Now I'm back on my windows desktop, my Macbook Pro in question (running Ubuntu) is about to detonate based on the graphics going on here...attaching pics (in case they are relevant to this issue).
ubuntu01.jpg
EDIT2: A few reboots have fixed the graphical madness going on in the above thumbnail, but the wireless issue lingers.
). The wireless did not work when I installed 12.04, and going through "Additional Drivers" would result in all sorts of "Sorry, something went wrong" errors and would not complete the update. Finally one day later after a few restarts and entering all sorts of fun things into my terminal based on web found fixes it installed, and then the entire computer froze when I selected my router from the list! After a reboot it worked, and as I have been seeing major graphical distortion upon bootup (until actually in the desktop screen) I decided to install the Nvidia drivers for my 320m graphics. Unfortunately after this happened, the computer would boot to the ubuntu loading screen with the 5 dots (this was my first time not seeing the graphical distortion) then the screen would blink bright white and shut off, computer still on. Thus my fixed wireless was no longer relevant, and I reinstalled 12.04.
