Bug Description

Binary package hint: bcmwl-kernel-source

Since the update to Natty my Wifi (BCM43225) is no longer working which worked flawlessly up until now.
The Network Manager always says "device not ready" an if I try to turn it on with the kill-switch I get the following in /var/log/syslog:

Apr 30 12:29:36 kahlan NetworkManager[861]: <info> WiFi now enabled by radio killswitch
Apr 30 12:29:36 kahlan NetworkManager[861]: <info> (wlan0): bringing up device.

Apr 30 12:29:36 kahlan NetworkManager[861]: <info> (wlan0): taking down device.

(Note: This is just _one_ keypress.)

I already tried the older version of the driver (as mentioned in another) bug but the behavior didn't change.

I am not really sure If this is a duplicate of #732677, since after plugging in a USB-WiFi adapter (RaLink) there was still no network, even though I enabled WiFi. The RaLink Wifi adapter works like a charm on ubuntu 10.10.
