Hi Christian; For me the b43 installer in the repos does the trick. One must also manually turn on the wifi with the Fn-key switch.
As pointes out above the version numbers in the title may not be current; there are also many related bugs (although I disagree which are duplicates); and the "real problem" appears to be that whatever code decides which driver to use is jncorrect. Also, for awhile at least the non-working driver was causing the whole networking stack to crash though I think that is not the case in 13.10. For clarity I have an inspiron 1501 with the b43 driver running fine on the 4311 device.
