Woohoooo! I got the wireless working! I used Kernel 2.6.32-999-generic
and had to download firmware.

Here are the steps:

1. First connect the computer to the Internet with a cable (this is the easiest 
way)
2. Go here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds
3. You will likely be pointed here: 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current
4. Get the current kernel (I used 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/linux-image-2.6.32-999-generic_2.6.32-999.200910141000_i386.deb)
5. Install it: sudo dpkg -i 
linux-image-2.6.32-999-generic_2.6.32-999.200910141000_i386.deb

Now reboot and after startup, if you run dmesg you'll probably see "Cannot find 
firmware file b43/ucode15.fw"
1. The message will point you to 
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#device_firmware
2. Scroll down to "You are using the b43 driver with an LP-PHY card (e.g. 
BCM4312)"
3. Before you follow the instructions you'll need git: sudo apt-get install 
git-core
4. Now become root: sudo -i
5. Paste in the two sets of instructions - they will "git clone" the fwcutter 
and then download and install the firmware

After that, reboot and you should be all set!
