I recall having problems with that too, and ended up finding a different
set of drivers somewhere (windows install?).
Here's the files I used (I think):
-rw-r--r-- 1 anderson anderson 494176 May 26 2005 bcmwl5.inf
-rw-r--r-- 1 anderson anderson 376192 May 26 2005 bcmwl5.sys
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root anderson 597289 Apr 26 21:48 bcmwl5_sys.ko
I still have that .ko around if you'd like to try it.
