i too had a similar problem with cq40...but could finally resolv it. so for wifi to work u should first connect you laptop to the internet through lan.after getting connected to the internet through lan goto: system>administration>synaptic package manager now search for b43-fwcutter and select it and mark for installation.this package is driver for broadcomm wifi of bcm43xx series. cq40 generally have BCM43xx wifi adapters. after marking b43-fwcutter for installation select apply from the top of the window. it will then download and install necessary drivers using internet through lan. after successfull completion u can continue using wifi in ubuntu. happy surfing
