Jordan and I were able to solve this problem from this website: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx Automatically Installing The easiest way to install the Broadcom43xx drivers in Dapper is to execute a script that has already been written for this purpose. Before you execute the script, you'll need to install the bcm43xx-fwcutter package. (Note: You must be connected to the internet in order for apt-get and the script to work properly.) sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh Everything should be installed properly and work now. If it doesn't work, there are some hints at the bottom of this page to help you out. After the driver is installed correctly with the right firmware, then you can set up the card through Gnome Network Settings.
