I experienced this problem exactly.  When I tried to use the hardware
drivers utility it attempted to re-install the restricted driver.  It
first tried to download a file.  It failed and froze/crashed.  I then
found a set of instructions at
http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware This
got my wireless back but I am unable to actually connect to a network
(although I think my internet [here at school] might be down).  Not
really sure.
