read http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 the section
"You are using the b43 driver from linux-2.6.25 or newer"

`modprobe b43` and look at the output of `dmesg`. It should say sth
about missing firmware.

The website says you need to extract the firmware from the official driver:

export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver
sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-012/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR"
wl_apsta_mimo.o


The Kernel has been compiled with
## file: drivers/net/wireless/b43/Kconfig
CONFIG_B43=m
CONFIG_B43_PCMCIA=y
# CONFIG_B43_DEBUG is not set

## file: drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/Kconfig
CONFIG_B43LEGACY=m
CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DEBUG=y
## choice: Broadcom 43xx-legacy data transfer mode
CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE=y
# CONFIG_B43LEGACY_DMA_MODE is not set
# CONFIG_B43LEGACY_PIO_MODE is not set
## end choice

so it /should/ work.

HTH,
robin
