I installed Ubuntu 15.10 (32bit) fresh and clean on my Dell D620. It
loaded the b43 module but no wireless was working, also nothing showed
up in the additional driver list to install afterwards.

So if you want it just working (without bcmwl-kernel-source for now) you
just have to:

sudo apt-get install firmware- b43-installer

After a reboot WLAN was working like it should!
