I have BCM4312 wireless card too.

What I needed to do:

  1. Go to: System->Administrator->Additional Drivers(Hardware drivers)

  2. Then click to Broadcom STA wireless driver and enable it.

  3. Restart

To me it's the easiest way.

The STA driver in 11.04 doesn't work due to a kernel issue. You will have to install the B43xx firmware. Just install firmware-b43-installer from the Software Center or Synaptic.

You can also do it from the command line: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

There's no need for ndiswrapper and Windows drivers, because the Linux driver already exists,

  • if you see no broadcom wireless device name, uninstall driver,restart computer, install driver and restart again until 'firmwaremissing' message appears with wifi device name under wireless iconafter clicking on it (gnome).

  • If you haven't it, you must install a synaptic package manager fromUbuntu software center

  • search 'bcm' inside synaptic package manager

  • mark for installation 'b43-fwcutter', 'firmware-b43-installer' or'firmware-b43-lpphy-installer'(if you have a broadcom lpphy driver),'firmware-b43legacy-installer' and apply, no restart needed. YourWi-Fi led turns on immediately.

I followed the Medieval's steps, but (for me) it was incomplete.

Then I had to go to System SettingsAdditional Drivers → then Activate the wireless card.

Then up in the menu desktop, I clicked Enable Wireless.

I hope this helps somebody.

Ubuntu Network Drivers

I dont know where is problem, I blacklisted b43 driver from loading on startup because sometimes it wont boot. When it boot I typed modprobe b43 to load driver. Driver loaded successfully and I can connect to my AP, I have IP adress but i cant access Internet. When I want to put card in monitor mode, it stops working after 10 seconds and dmesg | grep b43 says DMA error, then my system freeze. I tryed reset wlan module 3 times, I think I'll buy another wireless card.
EDIT: dmesg | grep b43 says
[ 812.821913] b43-phy0 ERROR: Fatal DMA error: 0x00000400, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000400, 0x00000000, 0x00000000

[ 818.577347] b43-phy0: Controller restarted
Can I load some other firmware version? Maybe this is too old.
