Hi Luke!
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. As you can see, there're missing firmware files for the wireless chip:
Apr 28 09:18:21 mcclaike-laptop kernel: [ 1812.558903] b43legacy-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http:// linuxwireless. org/en/ users/Drivers/ b43#devicefirmw are and download the correct firmware (version 3).
Oh, and the downloaded firmware must be put into /lib/firmware/ b43legacy/ ucode4. fw as stated in your log.
Please comment, if that fixes your problem. Thanks.
