The pre-packaged bcm43xx drivers for the built-in wireless NIC do not work. I was able to get the wireless to work after downloading firmware using the restricted driver manager. This means that if you want to make wireless internet work, you have to have a (wired) internet connection to download the drivers.

I have a problem with the hardware broadcom wifi.
I press the hotkey fn+f2 to activate the hardware and this will not work.
I'll look at the drivers but it appears to be installed.
How can I solve this problem? Ubuntu is all new to me so if possible, give me a clear explanation. Now do I connect the lan cable. I use the Ubuntu 11.10

I have a Vostro 1000 with the same wireless card and I found that Ubuntu detects the card but does not install the correct drivers.
Use lspci command to display the details about hardware. It will display all of PCI connected hardware. Look the information for wireless card in the list, the match must be with this identifier [14e4:4312].
To solve the problem install the correct driver for this wireless card and remove the incorrect driver (bcmwl) which Ubuntu installed by default.
And I had the wireless card working again! Because I upgraded the Ubuntu version and with the last it worked fine after installation.
Or if you prefer It can be done with Synaptic:
- Get
b43-fwcutter,firmware-b43-installer - Uninstall
bcmwl-kernel-source(installed by default)
I hope it helps.
