HP G72 with Ubuntu 10.04.1 fails to see builtin wireless adapter

Just got this HP G72 laptop with Windows 7 installed.  After testing 
that the wireless adapter worked in Windows, I then installed Ubuntu 
10.04.1.  The builtin Broadcom adapter is not recognized by Ubuntu.  It 
thinks that all it has is a eth0 that is not connected.  I found a note 
in the docs that if both eth0 and wireless were available on a machine 
that only the eth0 would be used.

Thanks ahead for any advice on how to proceed.
