Hello!
Depending on the make, model, and age of your computer, there are several possible Broadcom drivers out there. Open a terminal window [CTRL-ALT-T] and enter the following command:
Post the output here, and I'll tell you how to find the right driver. If you've installed the wrong one, you'll have to uninstall it to install the correct one, which I'll tell you how to do as soon as we determine which one you need.
Here's my output as an example:
rob@N4RPS-Mini210:~$ sudo lspci -nn -d 14e4:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
Older models use the b43 driver, and the REALLY ANCIENT ones use b43-legacy.

Hope to hear from you soon...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
