I too have a bcm43xx wireless card in my laptop. I use Ubuntu with kernel
2.6.17 and I took the windows driver for it and used a program called
fwcutter. This extracted the files and place then in the directories that
they needed to be in. I was using WEP, as I could not get wpa_supplicant to
work as well. Also, after a few weeks, things went very bad. All of a
sudden I started getting errors when trying to load the drivers for the
bcm43xx. I ran the fwcutter again, but it still was erroring out. I have
since switched to a Cisco card and have had no issues with it running WEP,
still can't get wpa_supplicant working.
