Hi, I still don't think it's a matter of Broadcom or Atheros.
I've found this little HowTo from Gentoo Linux (not written by me!):

Even with NDISWrapper and Broadcom card, acerhk / acer_acpi are always 
needed for enabling wireless hardware.
At this point I guess our Acer Aspire 5024WLMi / 5020 are different :/
Best regards
