You can get this to work in 12.04 or 11.10 by following this guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-2/Oneiric
under the wireless section.  Careful on the typo in the PPA!  It should be: 
mpoddroid  (with two d's)

You can get this working in 12.10 if you use the 12.04 PPA.  You can do
this by following the guide posted above and then editing the file in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/   and replacing all the instances of "quantal"
with "precise" then there is some small issue with the device being
managed.  You need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and restart network
manager I believe.  Not really sure about that part.

For Developers:
The chipset should be supported by the b43 driver in kernels after 3.2.0 (I 
believe).  However, in Ubuntu 12.10 and all previous versions the package 
firmware-b43-installer refuses to install because this chipset 14e4:4331 is not 
listed in the chipsets that the package thinks it should support.  The above 
guide resolves this issue.  The package firmware-b43-installer should allow 
installation of itself for this chipset.
