Ok, I have some more specifics.
After installing firmware-b43legacy-installer dmeg shows 
[   25.866517] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found
[   25.866531] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode5.fw" not found
[   25.866538] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to 
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the 
correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all 
instructions on this website.

However, /lib/firmware/ contains b43legacy/ dir.
For the hell of it I copied b43legacy into /lib/firmware/b43 and now dmeg 
complains
[   25.652066] b43-phy0 ERROR: YOUR FIRMWARE IS TOO OLD. Firmware from binary 
drivers older than version 4.x is unsupported. You must upgrade your firmware 
files.
