Have you connected (temporarily) by Ethernet, run updates and searched for additional drivers? If so, then we need more details (as above). – david6 May 11 '12 at 8:00

Actually I followed 2 step to enable wireless in my PC

  • Step 1 : Removed the bcmwl-kernel-source package 

    sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source

  • Step 2 : Installed the firmware-b43-installer package.

    sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

And then rebooted my PC .

Finally got my work done. :)
