Dan, is it possible that your broadcom card is one of those that
requires the firmware distributed for Windows? In that case, you
should use b43-fwcutter, which requires access to the Windows drivers
of your card. There are several tutorials online, Just look for
Broadcom b43 fwcutter plus your card model.

So is it the case that I need to look for a different file that has the same
name with no way to distinguish the two?
