Cory, what i your output of 'dmesg'? This would give an idea, if the problem is the driver itself, or a problem of not loading the firmware.
A second aproach would be to do the steps, the install script shoud do, manually (steps extracted from /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh):
go to some temporary directory, for example ~/b43-temp and perform the following steps:

tar xfvj broadcom-

sudo chmod o+rx /lib/firmware/b43 /lib/firmware/
Again, output of 'dmesg' would be helpful... Good luck!
