I have the same issue, twice so far I have had to reinstall to get it to work properly and have decided to go to a different distro until this issue is corrected.

I had the same problem after updated. When i typed dmesg | grep b43:

Code:

ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode15.fw" not found
ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode15.fw" not found

It fixed after i did this in terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

Good work mpig 
This will be helpful/useful for others in the community in future, that may have this problem on a similar Broadcom card.

I also performed an install update and lost my wifi connection today.

I ran that script provided above and it did not solve the problem.
I hooked the computer up to the modem via Ethernet cable and updated the drivers and still no fix.    I need to go check on it and see what's going on.  It's in the other room..  more later.

Hello Engineer,

Found it, Broadcom BCM 4318

$ sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
$ wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broad....5.tar.bz2
$ tar xf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
$ cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver/
$ sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ wl_apsta_mimo.o
$ sudo modprobe b43
$ sudo echo "b43" >> /etc/modules

I run this script and the machine get hung up on line 6 and does nothing.  Also, when I try and reboot, the machine never shuts off, the screen goes blank and it sets and spins until I manually turn it off.
