Short story is that there are two drivers for Broadcom chipsets: b43 which has
been about for years [originally] based on reverse-engineering, and brcmsmac
which is Broadcom's eventual attempt at an open source driver. The former is
usually the preferred solution, but unfortunately doesn't support your
chipset.

You'll probably also need to get the firmware yourself. See
