So, the system does recognise the card. . . yes?
Broadcom cards are infamous, AFAIC, and have been talked about at
length many times. Check mailing list archives and Debian docs. For
example, http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi .
I got my Broadcom card working in Debian. You'll need to have the
correct driver and firmware. It was rather painless for me once I got
the right info.
g'luck!
