Please try this:

sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware

modprobe b43

reboot

You need to install the broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-kmp-YOURKERNELFLAVOR packages from the Packman repositories. These provide the drivers and install scripts for your card. Reboot after install of the drivers, and your NIC should work.

Yes
I wasn't sure if b43 or wl was best

Here is a broadcom-wl guide

That is an N PHY. Wl is needed.

This means you should follow this

Just for the record:

/lib/modules/2.6.31.14-0.1-desktop/updates/drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcm80211.ko
alias:          pci:v000014E4d00004353sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
--
/lib/modules/2.6.31.14-0.1-desktop/updates/wl.ko
alias:          pci:v000014E4d00004353sv*sd*bc*sc*i*

So at least for the future, brcm80211 will be another candidate.

This works great !!!
Last question
I'm seeing the connection is only 2 Mb/s

Any idea why?

Thank you
