I've configured a few bcm43xx cards in Gobo 012. That involved
upgrading the kernel to a newer release for 2 reasons: the GPL device
driver and significant changes in the sysfs interface and in the
information passed through the netlink interface to the Udev daemon.
Also, it was being used Udev 100 + Module-Init-Tools 3.2.2. This
version of udev has its own firmware script, named
$target/lib/udev/firmware.sh, and an updated 50-udev.rules already
takes that into account. It might be interesting to upgrade these
packages, it's most likely that it will fix the problem.
