Edit: My apologies, after reviewing the supported devices list, you were correct in looking at wl
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use … ed_devices

I'll leave the original post up in case it helps someone else.

You shouldn't need the wl package. To get my b43 device working, I installed

b43-fwcutter
firmware-b43-installer
firmware-b43legacy-installer

You should only need one of the firmware packages. I just installed both because I didn't know which one was correct, and I didn't want to take the time to find out.
