I used 'additional drivers' to install 'Broadcom STA wireless driver' and it returns an error. WIthin jockey.log it says the following numerous times.

2011-02-14 21:24:06,945 DEBUG: BroadcomWLHandler enabled(): kmod disabled, bcm43xx: blacklisted, b43: blacklisted, b43legacy: blacklisted

After it returns the error the network card will work temporarily until I restart the laptop. When I restart I got to go through the procedure again of trying to activate the driver, returns an error however it works temporarily.

The network card is as follows on a Dell Inspiron 1545:

Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] Rev 01

I have been trying to solve this myself for many hours. Any help is appreciated/
