Thanks for this information, this realy helped me to get the wireless up. I have only one problem after using this solution.
After a reboot, my computer forgets the connection.
If I type the code: /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware, it works again. Is there a solution for this minor problem?

Yes. The firmware is still there, but the automatic loading of the driver is
forbidden.
You previously installed the proprietary driver wl, which blacklisted b43, ssb,
and bcma. Their change is somewhere in /etc/modprobe.d/ and is probably in
50-blacklist.conf. You will need to edit that file (as root) and remove the
blacklisting.
In the meantime, you can just ‘sudo /sbin/modprobe -v b43’.
