You don't need to buy a USB device. From a terminal, do the following commands:
sudo su - echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu hardy main" > \ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kernel-ppa.list apt-get update apt-get -u upgrade After these commands are executed, a new kernel with patches for the BCM4301 problems will become a candidate for installation. Install it and the necessary firmware and your wifi will work.
