I think I've found a work around to this problem - which may shed some
light on why its happening.

I tried to install the Broadcom driver using:
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter

b43-fwcutter was already the latest version, on configuring however saw
the following error:

......
Setting up b43-fwcutter (1:011-5) ...

So:

I followed the instructions from:

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

See under: You are using the b43 driver from linux-2.6.25 or newer

You probably won't need to make the executable from source.
Just download the firmware and it should work fine.
