I tried bcm43xx-fwcutter and and some kind of bcm43xx-softmac-sa package that I read about on a forum. The softmac thing had some compile time errors that looked like coding bugs. bcm43xx-fwcutter seemed to work, it extracted the firmware, I did make installfw, and then while modprobe bcm43xx didn't give me any errors, it also didn't show up on iwconfig. I didn't see anything else on google.
