I can confirm this bug on my laptop under hardy alpha 6. I have the bcm4318 card. If i use the restricted hardware manager and enable the driver it downloads and installs fine but does not work even after a reboot. Going under package manager, selecting completely remove the b43-fwcutter package, and then installing it again does fix my wireless. This would be consistent with a problem in the installation script or restricted driver manager itself.
