I suspect you have bcm4311 rev 2 wireless card as do I. When I first started using Ultimate Edition, I followed the instructions provided for this card and all worked well. Unfortunately recent updates have made the wireless stop connecting and I've not been able to get any help with this. I really like the Ultimate Edition distrabution but there doesn't seem to be much help at this point in time. I just re-installed Ultimate Edition (1.8 64 bit version), and all works well except for the wireless.
