Bug Description
After installing Natty from scratch I also installed Broadcom STA driver offered through Additional drivers but WiFi is not working. Network manager is not showing any wifi networks, and wifi light on my laptop is off. I tried to repeat procedure (stop/start Broadcome STA driver) but nothing happens. Tried also WiFi switch on laptop but still nothing. WiFi was working just fine on previous Ubuntu versions just after installing additional driver.
Natty Alpha3, Broadcom BCM4311.

I have the same problem on an Aspire 3680. It offered to install the driver, which I did (plugging in ethernet port so it would download driver) and rebooted. No go, lspci shows BCM4311, but nothing with ifconfig -a.
