You can try bcm43xx-fwcutter (If you
have a bcm43xx WiFi chip) or ndiswrapper. fwcutter should be
convenient because the kernel module for ndiswrapper needs to be built
every time you upgrade to a new kernel. Google for Broadcom Wifi under
Linux and fwcutter. There's a lot of howtos available (You'll need to
download/extract the firmware for your card). I've been using fwcutter
on Fedora (9 and 10) for a long time now.
And I thought Broadcom opened their drivers... Anybody using their
drivers yet?
