Plug an ethernet cable to get internet and give this set of commands in terminal and then reboot to see if it works.
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer

I had to reinstall module responsible for using windows wireless driver. (I found solution on ubuntu forum) works after that.
Thanks.

Ok, if it works you can leave it as it is then, however there is native linux driver for your card.
