That seems exactly the same as broadcom-sta-source. > I prefer this package because it uses dkms in place of module-assistant.

Try changing this line in /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf: wpa_driver = wext in wpa_driver = broadcom (remember not to change it again from the GUI!) If that works for you, I'll make a patch for it. In case it doesn't work out-of-the-box, I fear it'll take some more time. I'm not really happy to support a non-free thing, when you have a free working alternative. But depending on how many people want this, and what upstream thinks about supporting it, I (or them) might make a more complex patch. Thank you, David -- . ''`.
