Hi,

Please proceed with the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer

b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer exist in the Ubuntu repositories, but you will need a working wired Internet connection in Ubuntu in order to locate it and install it.

The only way to do that - in your case - is to connect the pc to the wireless router using a LAN cable, instead of using wireless.

Then REBOOT and retest wireless.

 Thanks
 I tinkered around a bit more after I sent that e-mail and managed to sort out the wireless adapter issue doing essentially what you mentioned. At first it didnt work after doing it and then I realised that the WIFI card was actually HW disabled (the fn + F5 key sorted that pretty quickly)
