I second this. I am supporting 3 friends' Dells with b43-fwcutter: Inspiron 5100, 8600, and Mini 10v. Haven't messed with the Broadcom drivers/firmware as b43-fwcutter works great. Just my own experience, might be worth giving it a try. Your wifi card is supported by b43 http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx#supported-b43.

Good luck,
Mark
