My wi-fi is working again. I found this command at some forum:

sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-
source

After that I run:

dpkg --configure -a

and afrerwords aptitude and suddenly wi-fi was working. I have no idea
how did I do it but it works...

Title:
  Wi-fi won't connect in 11.10.

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I updated my system to 11.10. wi-fi stopped working. I can see
  the available wireless networks but when I try to connect I always get
  the message that the password is incorrect. Password is good for sure
  because I actually updated the system while connected through wi-fi.
  On my second computer it also works fine. I even tried 3 different
  kernels with no result. I suspect the problem is in the ethernet
  driver. Here's some info:

  uname -a:

  Aspire-3100 3.1.0-030100rc10-generic

  lspci:

  06:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
  06:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01)

  Anybody knows how can I get it working?
