12.04 - Wireless available but not being used with a BCM4311

I'm re-purposing a Gateway 6703. After following advice, the Broadcom hardware shows up in ifconfig, and rfkill shows no blocking. The problem is, even though wifi is enabled, the no wireless scan or connection is made. Any ideas why that might be? Can I force the wireless to connect? Is there an app I should be running? Thanks in advance for any help
