The program jockey (system->admininstrator->additional drivers) works only if you have an internet connection. Also I do not think Broadcom STA driver comes with the Ubuntu CD. Easiest way out is you to get a temporary LAN connection and try installing the driver from synaptic.
Or else you can compile STA driver from source.
