Try right-clicking on the network icon in the top panel and see if "Enable Wireless" is ticked.
Also you are running the new version? 10.04.1.2

The older ones did have this problem but is fixed in the new version.

I also have a broadcom wireless card on my notebook, drivers are activated but the card is not seen.  Love the OS but had to use pclos instead the card is picked up and works without a hitch

Try right click and disabling networking and then enable networking.
It worked for me and I've had no issues since.
