Hi,

To make it definitvely works at future kernel upgrade with DKMS (64 bits - change archive name for 32bits) :

wget http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/drivers/broadcom/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_95.tar.gz
mkdir b43b1-6.30.223.95
tar xvzf hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_95.tar.gz -C b43b1-6.30.223.95
cd b43b1-6.30.223.95
touch dkms.conf
vim dkms.conf o gedit dkms.conf

Paste this (without lines) :
----------------------------------------------
PACKAGE_NAME="b43b1"
PACKAGE_VERSION="6.30.223.95"
CLEAN="make clean"
MAKE="make"
BUILT_MODULE_NAME="wl"
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION="./"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION="/updates"
----------------------------------------------
save and exit

cd ..
sudo mv b43b1-6.30.223.95 /usr/src/b43b1-6.30.223.95
cd /usr/src/b43b1-6.30.223.95
sudo dkms add -m b43b1 -v 6.30.223.95
sudo dkms build -m b43b1 -v 6.30.223.95
sudo rmmod wl
sudo dkms install -m b43b1 -v 6.30.223.95
sudo modprobe wl

add module wl in /etc/modules to load it at boot time if it doesn't work at reboot.

That's all
enjoy ;)
