I have been able to try the bcm43xx driver. It hangs on initialisation. For now, ndiswrapper works, though I'm not sure how to configure it for protected networks.
The bottom of the card itself says it's a version 3.

I have the same card. Sold over here in .nl as a "Linksys WPC54G-EU
version 3 [Wireless-G Notebook Adapter]".
