OK, I'll ask the obvious: Is the firmware installed?

The best place to start, I think, is a list of details - the precise chipset of the card or the relevant part of lspci -v, the kernel version and the driver file you used to extract the firmware.

ndiswrapper is an option, and has some advantages over the bcm43xx driver. If you go that route, make sure the bcm43xx is not loaded at the same time, though.
