you probably need bcm43xxx-fwcutter package. i wrote up how i got mine

This is the lspci output:

The network-admin says wireless network eth2 active but under
properties, the network is not selected. It appears in the pop-up menu
though and I can select it, but afterwards ping returns network unreachable.
There is no wpa_action.log file in /var/log.
Any ideas?

Check everything, resolv.conf, /etc/network/interfaces and bring up the interface with ifdown eth2; ifup eth2 Don't trust the network-manager, check for a default route, too.
