Do you have Gnome's network manager running? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if it doesn't work from there, the next step is ndiswrapper...

ndiswrapper is the way to get broadcom wlan modems to work!

Its not working with Network Manager running ... i will try with ndiswrapper and let u know by problems ..

when i tried to make the ndiswrapper distclean the following errors came out ...
make -C driver clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pavan/Download/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver'
Makefile:23: *** Kernel tree not found - please set KBUILD to configured kernel. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pavan/Download/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver'
make: *** [clean] Error 2

Try the following link, I found it on someone elses post asking about its broadcom, in fact heres a quote from the guy that left that link!

@Ricko ..i cant understand the language in that link ! anyhow i installed ndiswrapper but the drivers still not working ...when i checked about the drivers installed with ndiswrapper -l it says the driver present but still not working some one help me ...

Sorry for the slow reply...

Here are some links.

You'll notice that some of these refer to Dell machines, that is what I had when I went through this process the last time, but Dell uses Broadcom cards as well.

An important part of this is making sure that you have the correct driver downloaded from Lenovo - and the blacklist...

Here's another link, this one from LQ....

As an afterthought, if it were me, I would download the drivers from Lenovo before I downloaded them from Broadcom...
