Dan, is it possible that your broadcom card is one of those that
requires the firmware distributed for Windows? In that case, you
should use b43-fwcutter, which requires access to the Windows drivers
of your card. There are several tutorials online, Just look for
Broadcom b43 fwcutter plus your card model.
