This is a bit OT, since I have a BCM4322, but had same problem.

Upgrade to natty left wireless (BCM4322 here, see below) not working. Pressing 
the [fn-f6] combination lit the Wifi-LED for short time, then it switched off 
again. I did not find any related entries in dmesg/syslog, but:
[ 3219.579913] keyboard: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 240

reinstalling via GUI and
# dpkg-reconfigure bcmwl-kernel-source 
plus a reboot made it working again

This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
