I have a BCM43225, which is not supported by b43 firmware, so I had to search for another workaround.
I found that removing acer-wmi module (I've got a acer AspireOne 753) does make wifi working (but, of course, kills the bluetooth module).
To the noobs, the command is: sudo modprobe -r acer-wmi
It's a workaround I can accept, but please keep on searching for a solution.
I'd like ubuntu developers to spend a little more effort on this kind of tests, since my first thought was "damn! My pc is unusable without wifi", and the second was "which other distribution may I try?". Luckily for Ubuntu, I am patient, and Fedora and Suse are likely to undergo bad times soon.
