Almost there but something is still not working. First of all, midori doesn't download the above file from this location. I had to use another machine to get it. ;-(
Then I removed the broadcom-wl and a slightly newer version of b43-firmware (5.100.xxx) and installed
the version I just downloaded.
The result is this:
root@slaptop:/home/leo# lsmod | grep b43

I can see the wireless networks in the wifi configuration tool but after selecting mine and entering the password, nothing happens. My wlan interface :
root@slaptop:/home/leo# ifconfig wlan0

EDIT: This is also not OK I presume:
root@slaptop:/home/leo# tazpkg remove b43-firmware-4.150.10.5.tazpkg
b43-firmware-4.150.10.5 is not installed.
However, the b43 module IS installed:
root@slaptop:/home/leo# lsmod | grep b43
b43 132593 0
mac80211 145388 1 b43
cfg80211 99896 2 b43,mac80211
ssb 24436 1 b43

I did the install using --forced but no change.
