Right now I have mixed feelings but with unity and gnome 3. I also feel like nothing really happened for ubuntu on this release. I have used gnome 3 on fefora 15 and I like some of the integration parts. I feel that the next release will set some milestones now that the new shell is up and running well. I can't wait six months lol

One additional step
Hi, just to add. I had to do `sudo modprobe b43` in order to load the driver and get it working.
Thanks

Hope modprobe once will add it to modules list. |

Hi I've been following this for a few days now with the same problem and I think I'm almost there. Now nm-applet is saying "wireless is deactivated by hardware switch"(but at least it's saying something now), what do I do?

I never switched it off lol! I wasn't even aware a switch existed expect the keyboard shortcut (Fn+F2), which I've tried (and which is hardly hardware). Thats why I think it's really a software problem

Wifi Problem solved
I figured it out today, Just switch your desktop to classical view instead of Unity and your wifi will be back!! it is Unities bug and cannot activate wifi, though everything is working fine i.e. the drivers, the button, all is OK but problem with Unity interface.
