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.
