For your information, module-assistant can automate module compilation
and installation, see the Squeeze procedure[1] on the Debian wiki for
more information.

The created interface will have an "eth" prefix, not "wlan".

Use of iwconfig without arguments will display available wireless
network interfaces.  The interface for your device will typically be
assigned eth1 (for a system with a single Ethernet controller present).

You have a BCM4313 device (not BCM4312) as stated in your lspci output.
wlc_hybrid uses the PCI device code (4727) and incorrectly reports
"BCM4727" in the kernel ring buffer.

The brcm80211 driver[2] introduced in linux-2.6 2.6.32-22 provides
support for BCM4313-based devices and will conflict with the
broadcom-sta out-of-tree driver.

To continue using broadcom-sta/wl, you are required to blacklist the
brcm80211 module on your system (BTS #597786).  Refer to [1] for the
relevant commands.
