Like Al Erola, I selected restricted hardware driver for Broadcom STA, system requested reboot.
Unlike Al, after rebooting, the STA driver is no longer available and I have no wireless connectivity. I have installed/removed/reinstalled b43-fwcutter and the ndiswrapper files, but the STA (or the b43) drivers do not appear in the restricted drivers section.
After hours of frustration, I wiped my root partition and reinstalled using the 8.04 alternative CD. I installed b43-fwcutter, the ndiswrapper files, and all system updates (up till yesterday). Without installing any of the proprietary drivers, I upgraded to 8.10 RC2. Upon rebooting, I loaded the jockey GUI, which displayed my nvidia display driver, along with the STA and b43 drivers. I selected the STA driver and rebooted. After rebooting again, both wifi drivers disappeared.
My lspic looks like this (my Broadcom 4312 wifi doesn't register any longer, and I cannot connect wirelessly):
