Bug Description
Broadcom bcm4328 card isn't working by default.
The following sequence of events to make the driver install correctly for this card:
1.System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
2.Uninstalled the Broadcom STA wireless driver
3.Restart
4.Use the switch to turn the wireless radio off
5.Restart
6.Use the switch to turn the wireless radio on
7.System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
8.Reinstalled the Broadcom STA wireless driver
9.Restart
It even seems to still work after multiple normal reboots!
These instructions were originally found here:

Requesting an easier method of installing the driver (without reboots with disabling/enabling the radio in-between).
Hardware: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4328] (rev 03)

Found a comment on a thread that suggested removing the ssb kernel module and installing the wl one, ran:
sudo rmmod ssb
sudo modprobe wl
And wireless is working for me. I'm not sure how to keep it working after a reboot though.
