I have the exact same card that you have in your laptop. Is the laptop an ACER Aspire 3000?
If it is you have a button on the front of the laptop that you need to press in order for it to be activated. Also if you follow the Broadcom wireless Issues thread, bitsnpcs pointed me to a few places via links as to how to resolve this.
As for step 6 you might try pressing the wireless button on the laptop see if that turns on the wireless again. (at step 6 that is) Give it a minute or two to be seen...
When I followed the steps, my wireless came back on while I was still typing stuff.
Also you should be sure to remove any other driver listed in the synaptic, the only one that should be there is the b43-fwcutter, then do all the recommended things bitsnpcs said.
Good luck
