I've had issues with this before: it's a crap shoot as to whether Ubuntu
will decide to support it out of the box (it's the STA driver,
theoretically).

Have you tried:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source

Make sure you've got dkms and all the linux firmware (free and non-free
installed as well).

Broadcom have a reasonably well-done howto on their page:

http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

Download the readme and follow their instructions, it should work even
though it's a lot more effort than it should be.

Good luck,

Cheers
