wireless problem ubuntu 12.04

Question

I am on an hp dv6 7011 tx that has the broadcom bcm 4313 chipset. The bcmwl-kernel-source driver is installed by default and it does not work. The enable wireless option in the network applet is greyed out. So i went to the additional drivers and installd the broadcom-STA-wireless driver. Actually I did this:

  sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source
  echo "blacklist brcmsmac" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf    
  echo "blacklist bcma" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Now i don't have a good idea why i blackclisted the brcmsmac and the bcma drivers. I checked some other forums and also blacklisted the "acer-wmi" driver because it seemed to do the trick in some cases. After a reboot there was no improvement at all. The wifi was not getting switched on when i pressed the key, seems like it is hardblocked.

So i removed the bcmwl-kernel-source driver(from the ubuntu software center)and then the wireless network disappeared completely after the reboot. I mean i was not even able to see if the wireless networks are enabled or disabled.

And finally I re installed the bcmwl-kernel-source package and removed 2 packages, broadcom-sta-common and the broadcom-sta-source(dependencies and sources for the broadom STA wireless driver) and I think I am back to square 1. I would really appreciate if you guys could help me through this. I did a clean install of the 12.04 LTS for better wifi support of my broadcom chipset only. Thanks in advance!
