Bleh, Broadcom...

They've refused to publish any specs for their chipsets, at all, ever. The reverse-engineered drivers for them only work with a few very ancient chipsets. After stonewalling the linux community for many years, though, they finally bothered publishing a (slightly) working proprietary binary-only driver, broadcom-sta. You'll need to install that and hope it works. Read broadcom's documentation carefully.
