Just because of personal interest: doesn't the bcm43xx driver work for you?
Idiot newbies on serious lists are at least amusing - sorry, but I am trying, and here is where the issue ends, it seems:
bcm43xx-fwcutter can cut the firmware out of /mnt/sda1/DRIVERS/NETWORK/ADDON/BCMWL5.SYS
filename : bcmwl5.sys version : 3.100.35.0 MD5 : c3ab2d6954c7b5103770832a3a6a591b
extracting bcm43xx_microcode2.fw ... extracting bcm43xx_microcode4.fw ... extracting bcm43xx_microcode5.fw ...
[...]
extracting bcm43xx_initval10.fw ...
Apparently, the driver needs firmware to be extracted via fwcutter, and that firmware is nowhere to be found, unless there is a repository somewhere that I cannot find through google. Or, perhaps writing ever one of those files via fwcutter -w might work? Seems futile to me, unless you think I should try.
It is nonetheless amazing that grml allowed the problem to be traced this far this quickly, irrespective of the immediate irresolubility, proving your support to be still the best in class.
Maybe someone in #bcm-users on irc.freenode.net or at http://bcm43xx.spugna.org/ can help you. Give it a try and please report news to us.
