IMHO, you have two options: 1. Solve the issue by fixing the drivers supplied by the distribution. (As others have explained in the previous replies.)
2. Use new brcm80211[1] drivers. For this purpose, I'd make a custom kernel package (see make-kpkg) using the latest stable kernel sources, which bundle brcm80211 by default. Best.
