Jordan and I were able to solve this problem from this website: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx</a><br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">

<p>The easiest way to install the Broadcom43xx drivers in Dapper is to
execute a script that has already been written for this purpose. Before
you execute the script, you'll need to install the bcm43xx-fwcutter
package. (Note: You must be connected to the internet in order for
apt-get and the script to work properly.) </p>
<pre>sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter<br>sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh </pre>
<p>Everything should be installed properly and work now. If it doesn't
work, there are some hints at the bottom of this page to help you out. </p></div><br>After the driver is installed correctly with the right firmware, then you can set up the card through Gnome Network Settings.<br><br>Jeff Rasmussen

Wireless still causing issues, but I solved the second problem; the<br>whole of my issues with installing User-Mode-Linux was that I hadn't<br>actually installed it! I'd installed the docs package and a utilities<br>package, but not the program itself!
