Got the same problem.
Both with the actual bcmwl, the old version and also the firmware-b43-installer.

As soon as I try to turn the Wifi on it instantly gets turned off again
(on a Acer Travelmate TimelineX 8172T) which looks this in
/var/log/syslog

(Note: This is just _one_ keypress.)

On Maverick all worked fine.

If this is broadcomms fault and not on Ubunts side: Isn't there any way
to include the working state from maverick into natty?
