"bcm43xx not found" means either that your kernel is too old (made before bcm43xx landed) or "too" new (the driver is now called b43). Try cutting the firmware with b43-fwcutter from the 4.80 firmware file on linuxwireless (NOT from your driver file!), then modprobing b43 (instead of bcm43xx). If b43 is also missing, then you have to compile a new kernel.
