I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 using the WL drivers for my Broadcom Wireless card. I need to know how to bridge the connection so my virtualbox can use the network.

I'm new to this so step by step instructions or make it easy to understand and explain what things do so I can learn please. Thank you.

Read the VirtualBox FAQ. You will see that a bridge + wireless = not working. Only wired connections work. You can use some kind of bridge using parprouted, but as you are a newbie, this is not recommended.

Is this being worked on or is it more of a linux issue?
