You don't say whether she is using Network Manager or
WICD. If Network Manager, have her switch to WICD. It
has been approved by many users as better than NM.

I have BCM4312 card and use it for several years with Network Manager not
having a singly issue. Though all this experience is in GNOME. Can it be
different in KDE? I would be surprised.

Could it be a conflict, I also have a broadcom card and I had to
blacklist so that the "free" driver and the propriatary does not both
try to control the card.


In my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf I have these 3 lines added:
blacklist bcma
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist brcmutil

I had to add this in 11.10 already as that was then ubuntu for whatever
reason did not automagically remove the free driver when you install the
broadcom driver
