You should look at the output of 'dmesg | grep b43' to see if your
firmware is missing. If it is, you can either follow the instructions
above, or enter the following command in a console

sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware

This will do the same as the linux-wireless instructions without
having to compile b43-fwcutter, which requires the installation of gcc
and libc.
