Mark Rijckenberg proposed the following answer:
Hi,

Please connect your network card to the wireless router using an
ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

Please disconnect your PCMCIA IBM Wireless 802.1b adapter, as we only
want to test your BCM4306 wireless card and we want to keep the wireless
setup as simple as possible.

Then please follow this Broadcom driver installation procedure :

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy-paste each line below to the
Terminal then hit <enter> after each line)

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

Step 3: Run the following command:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

# Add the following line at the end of the blacklist.conf file and save
the change:

blacklist ndiswrapper

Step 4: Reboot your pc and then retest wireless.

Step 5: If the BCM4306 wireless chipset still does not work after
rebooting, please send us the output again of the following command:

The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word restart. So
please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below into a Terminal, press enter,
then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

sudo lshw -C network; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces;
cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; uname -a; dmesg | grep ound;
dmesg | grep b43; iwconfig; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Regards,

Mark
