@BEN : You need to do what the dmesg says. The dmesg says, that the firmware is missing or wrong version. You need to go to the http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware page, READ it, pick the right firmware, do what the text there says (hint : the restricted-manager most probably installs the right version of b43-fwcutter, so no need to compile it) remember to use sudo when fwcutting (might be a need to fix the /etc/hostname *) file first) and this worked for me.
