The b43 driver (present by default) supports your 4312 chip, but it is being suppressed by the Broadcom STA driver (wl), which has had problems reported since 11.04. The b43 driver also needs you to add the firmware for the chip, which is available in either of two packages.
1) Deactivate the Broadcom STA driver.
2)Check that the exact line "blacklist b43" is not present in any file in /etc/modprobe.d
3)From a wired connection, add the Broadcom firmware by installing the package b43-fwcutter, and accept the offer to download the Broadcom files.
Note, you can even use the open source firmware by installing the package firmware-b43-lpphy-installer, but unfortunately in 11.10, that will probably add a minute to your shutdown (bug # 897120 filed).
The wireless should start working, reboot if not.

Thanks for your prompt answer to my problem. my wireless is now working
.You mentioned about the removal of blacklist b43. Well to be honest I
was not sure how to get into a read only file and change it.
So i tried another suggestion using the monitor and sudo .I then
managed to update the whole file and inside b43.conf the blacklist was
gone so was most of the other data but now wireless is working.
Question how can I alter a read only file. in case I have in the future.
Thanks again for all your help.
