 Hello,

 Can you give us the network card model 
 
 Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller 
 (rev 01)
 
 and the output of lsmod?
 
 All of it?  Surely not.  What might be relevant:
 
 b43   309381  0 
 bcma   19756  1 b43
 mac80211  192806  1 b43
 cfg80211  137243  2 mac80211,b43
 rng_core   12652  1 b43
 ssb44714  1 b43
 mmc_core   68400  2 ssb,b43
 pcmcia 32734  2 ssb,b43
 
 
According to this page:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

5GHz for N-PHY cards is not supported under the b43 driver.
