  • What additional driver? Can you install that driver when connected to the internet over a wired connection? – Rinzwind May 02 '12 at 19:59

You need to remove and reinstall the Broadcom driver. The easiest way to do that is:

//remove the old driver

$ sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source

//install the new one

$ sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

// reboot your system

$ sudo reboot

Then it should work.
