OK, try this:

1) go to this page and pick a mirror near you:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/b43-fwcutter/download

2) download the file (called "b43-fwcutter_011-1_i386.deb")

3) you also need these two files:

http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
http://downloads.openwrt.org/ sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2

put all of these on a usb thumbdrive (or burn a cd or whatever)

Right, now go to your laptop and insert the thumbdrive/cd/whatever:

4) copy "wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o" and "broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2"
into your /tmp directory

5) right click on the file "b43-fwcutter_011-1_i386.deb" - you should
get an option to install it (something like "install with gDebi" or
whatever). It will ask you for your password. During the installation,
it will ask you if you want to download the firmware - say no (since
you aren't connected to the internet... )

6) so, once it's installed, open a terminal and type the following commands:

cd /tmp
sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
tar xfvj broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware
broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta_mimo.o
chmod o+rx /lib/firmware/b43 /lib/firmware/b43legacy

and then reboot.

Good luck, and keep us posted
