Just thought I'd chip in.

I have a samsung R780 laptop with a  Broadcom Corporation BCM4313
802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)

Tried all sorts to get it working, removing bcmwl-kernel-source and
installling b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-lpphy-installer packages but
still could not connect to my secured wireless network (just kept asking
for the password).

Then I read the dupe bug of this one
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta/+bug/990222 and
comment 21 from emptythevoid held the answer.

I enabled thre 3rd party repositories in synaptic and then i was able to
install the restricted broadcom driver (previously it had just given me
the jockey.log message, not very helpful).

Hope this might help some others.
