It looks like you have the Broadcom firmware installed, so that's not a problem.
What method are you using to handle the connections? Are you using a connection manager, like NetworkManager or Wicd? Or are you connecting using terminal command iwconfig? Or some other way?Please do not send Private Messages to me with requests for help. I will not reply.

Install the Wicd connection manager, and see if that works better. Use Synaptic to install it, and it will uninstall the default NetworkManager.
You will need a wired connection, or a wireless connection.Please do not send Private Messages to me with requests for help. I will not reply.

waterhead, worked perfectly with the substitution of wicd, thanks a lot!
not sure why ubuntus built in network manager couldnt handle it but this new one works great.

There seems to be some bugs in the current version of NetworkManager. It has worked flawlessly for me in previous versions, so let's hope they work things out.
