Did you try to follow these instructions?

Celejar posted this link earlier; it looks like a good source of
information to me.

Yes, I have tried several firmware versions. The "bcm43xx" driver had
reacted to one or the other - but with errors. The latest
firmware-versions mentioned in these instructions are actually installed
in /lib/firmware.

That is all.
That is an nvidia MCP51 Ethernet Controller, your wired ethernet. Udev
is not aware of the broadcom interface at all. I think this indicates a
problem with loading the b43 module.

Try to load the module manually (as root) with verbose messages:
modprobe -v b43
Hopefully that will give us a clue.
There is NO OUTPUT from the "-v" option. But the module gets loaded.

this looks quite correct, but it doesn't do any visible thing.
OH, an other thing: About every second boot hangs after the message:
"Synchronizing the System Clock" (or something like this)
Could this probably be cause by some fault while trying to install and
activate the firmware?
