The b43 driver is for another broadcom models. Yours is not supported by the linux Open Driver.

You need to install the wl driver (propietary driver sta): http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

Read the instructions contained in the archive.

You might want to install the linux headers and build-essential.

Luck.
