[olug] Broadcom wireless bcmwl5 !??? anyone??

[T. J. Brumfield]

I had that card of my wife's last laptop and bcm43xx-fwcutter is what worked
for me.  You have to download firmware for it.

You can try some various Live CD's and such.  Sabayon comes pre-bundled with
all kinds of firmware and such.
