I use a broadcom wireless card as well. I'm a linux newbie, but be sure to install "b43-fwcutter", which is apparently essential to using that card on Linux. Reboot your computer after installing it, and then go to the "Hardware Manager" and see if your driver is detected. On my computer, there're two different drivers detected. One is unable to be activated, but the other is able to be activated, and it grants me internet. So try to activate any and all drivers that you can from the HW manager. Since you do not have the Internet, you'll have to find the .deb files for the b43-fwcutter, I presume.
