After trying many possible solutions this finally worked:

http://linuxg.net/how-to-fix-broadcom-bcm4311-wireless-driver-on-ubuntu-and-linux-mint/

Just this:

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source

$ sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

$ sudo su
# echo "b43" >> /etc/modules

and it works!
