Hi,
in my simple understanding:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#firmware_installation
under debian, installing:
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
should be enough.

I am not really good with broadcom wireless, but as far as I remember, you
have to have a firmware to install, using bcm43xx-fwcutter.
Hum... dont get mad at me if I am wrong

I suppose I don't a firmware cause the card is currently working just
fine with the previous version of the driver which I kept in a backup.
I think I should email the maintainer and then file a bug or something.
I just hoped someone had a clue about this cause I am out of ideas.
If you are upgrading from and earlier kernel then you should indeed
already have the firmware.
One thing I ran into several times (although I think some distros have
stopped doing this) was that each new kernel version came with its own
/lib/firmware directory, so the firmware may simply be in the wrong
location.
Check your logs: if the bcm43xx module has loaded but complains about
missing firware, you might try pointing a find at /lib and looking for
it.
good luck
deryk
