11.10 - Firmware missing for Broadcom 802.11b/g Adapter?



I have a HP Pavilion zx5280us laptop (it says HP Pavilion zx5000 on the physical laptop but it's really an HP Pavilion zx5280us when detected on the HP website) and I installed Ubuntu 11.10 alongside Windows XP Professional x86. I tried to use a wireless connection but it said "device not ready (firmware missing)". Any help on this? Here's the code output:
