Uninstall the bcmwl-kernel-source package by issuing the following
command on a terminal:
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
make sure that the firmware-b43-installer and the b43-fwcutter packages are
installed (of course you will need internet by others means):
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter
