You should now be able to use the wifi (via NetworkManager for instance) :-) To get the driver automatically loaded, I would recommend you ask on a community who knows more about ubuntu, I highly suspect some kind of blacklisting in modprobe (because this hardware required the wl driver in older kernels).
