same problem: 11.04, jockey couldn't install the broadcom driver.
I tried the goto solution, according to the link he posted, didn't work ( still don't know how to compile drivers).
The Mike solution worked for me, but what I did was slightly different:
- Enter Synaptics;
- wrote "bcm", and found all the broadcomm related things and checked to erase them;
- restart;
- went again to "hardware instalation" ( auf deutsch "treiber") and checked the broadcom to install.
- restart;

After restarting, the wlan was working as it should.

Feedback note: I just realized it wasn't work today, 10 days after I formated (again) the notebook. Interesting was, that my wlan
============ was working fine before, without this complication. ( I installed 11.04 in May, no upgrade ). This time, the problem happend. Blind shot for the problem: During the instalation I choosed to download important features during the installation. Otherwise, I don't remember doing anything different.
