    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.
