bcm43xx does not work for my system with kernel 2.6.20-8-generic. I get messages in the system log about needing firmware 4.x or later. The 4.x firmware was challenging to obtain, I used fwcutter-006. With the 4.x firmware that I found, network scanning works, but my system completely freezes after I give KeyRing my password to establish a WPA connection. I have not tested without WPA.
I booted with my previous kernel 2.6.20-6-generic and bcm43xx is working well with NetworkManager and WPA. Hope this info is useful to someone.
