I'm just wondering if any of these two (preferably ndiswrapper, because it works better) are there on the KDE4 installation CD by default...
b43 and b43-legacy are the successors of bcm43xx, and should work fine, simply install b43-fwcutter, then
Get the right firmware, extract it, and run
Code:
su
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware firmwarefile.o
then reboot, and Network Manager Should work with your card
