I am also having this same issue (icon incorrectly displays that I am not connected to the network when I actually am) on a Compaq Mini 311c that uses a Broadcom wireless card as well. I took the advice here and dropped the router down to G only and the icon correctly displays my connection now. This seems to be an issue with the draft-n spec and the Broadcom driver?
