I just did a fresh install of 11.10 32 bit and I can't get my wireless to work. I installed the drivers the Broadcom STA wireless drivers through additional drivers and rebooted, but it still doesn't see any wireless networksenter image description here

Did something change in 11.10 that makes the wireless card not work anymore? I was using 10.10 before, and it worked fine.

Do I need to go back to 10.10?
