Okay, according to this site you need the b43 driver and not the others.
* So, connect with an ethernet cable first.
* Open Synaptic and mark ALL of the Broadcom drivers you have now for complete removal.
* Just to be sure you start fresh, reboot the computer.
* Open Synaptic and mark the package "b43-fwcutter" for installation.
* If it tells you it needs to install anything else along with it, go ahead and accept that.
* After install is complete, close Synaptic and click the networking icon on panel to see if wireless choices are working.
* You may have to reboot computer first before wireless is activated properly. Not sure, but if doesn't immediately work, then reboot.
Hopefully that solves the problem.
