After reading some forums, I managed to fix the wireless problem on my
laptop. It consists on activating the Broadcom STA driver. This was easy
on previous versions of Ubuntu, but for some reason when you activate it
on 11.10 it keeps using the same kernel driver. So, after I activated
the driver using the Additional Drivers tool, I did the rest of the work
manually using the following:

sudo modprobe -r brcmsmac
sudo modprobe -r wl
sudo modprobe wl

I haven't rebooted yet, but I'm guessing that I have to blacklist the
brcmsmac driver to make it permanent.
