Im also affected by this. Its not that the wireless device doesnt
connect, it doesnt even appear listed in the nm-applet. Also, the
hardware controllers dont show the broadcom controllers anymore.

As I had done for Hardy, I tried installing the b43-fwcutter package,
but this didnt helped.

To make it work, I had to use ndiswrapper, by downloading this file 
http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R174291.exe 
Extract it, install and run ndiswrapper:

sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
sudo ndisgtk

And install bcmwl5.inf that is among the extracted files above. Of
course, I needed to be connected to a wired network to do this.
