hello,
I have been trying to get this broadcom 4311 card to work since yesterday. In the end, installed ndiswrapper and installed the windows driver. I am also using the b43legacy module and the b43 firmware.
The driver is shown as installed and present.
Unfortunately it is not showing me any wireless networks. Did i forget something?
Input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Find the pci-id of your broadcom chipset:
lspci -nn -d 14e4:
Find your PCI-ID in the chart to see which module works:

I managed to get it working.
For anyone who may stumble upon this, I combined you guy's advice and did this:
su
tazpkg get-install wireless-install
tazpkg get-install broadcom-wl
previously i had installed ndiswrapper, but I found one specific for slitaz:
tazpkg get-install tazndis
after that, i went into the wireless manager and changed my module to b43 (it was rtl8180 after i did the first 2 commands. now i see that even though i have installed b43, now it's back to rtl8180. dont know whats up with that).
more simply put, i selected b43 from the modules list and clicked install. once that was done, the wireless manager scanned for networks and all the wifi networks were displayed. I connected but the icon on my OS still has a red x on it.
it works. hope it helps someone else as well.
