You need to add the firmware for the Broadcom 4306 chip for the b43 driver.
The proprietary firmware cannot be distributed with the release,so you
have to manually add it. Use a wired connection, and in a terminal:
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter

and accept the offer to download the Broadcom files, which
will put the Broadcom firmware into /lib/firmware/b43.
If you don't get the offer to download, then purge the package and try again:
 sudo apt-get purge b43-fwcutter
 sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter

You can even use the open source firmware (which is what I use):
 sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
but only one set of firmware is needed (and non-4306 users should
check for needing the "lpphy" version of the firmware).

With the firmware in place, NetworkManager may start scanning, if not,
manually load the b43 driver module, or just reboot.
 sudo modprobe b43

NetworkManager should start scanning and offer a list of possible
connection points within a few seconds.

Select your access point, select the correct encryption method, and enter
your key. If you are not broadcasting your ssid and it does not show up in
the list of access points, you might have to left click NetworkManager and
select the menu item "connect to hidden network", and enter your ssid. Next
boot, the connection should be automatic.

Can you help with this problem?
