I am running a Buffalo G PCMCIA wireless card which also uses the Broadcom 
drivers.  I, with a fresh install of Hardy, get the same behavior as the OP.  
The output from dmesg is:
"[  390.486921] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load 
failed.
[  390.486938] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to 
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the 
correct firmware (version 4).

and from "lsmod | grep b43"
b43                   118176  0 
rfkill                  8592  19 rfkill_input,b43

Again, the system acts like there is a wireless card and that it is active but 
no lights come on for the card and no wireless networks (I'm positive that 
there are several in the area) show up.
