Hi all,
i have a problem trying to do dhclient to the wifi interface, i can associate the ap, the problem is when i try to do dhclient, And i get No DHCPOFFERS received. I'm sure my modem works cause i'm sending this mail thru this connection. I've read documentation from kernel and wiki debian manual about how to load wl module and b43 and i get the same result.
Here is some vital information:
Device
07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
kernel
Linux Debian 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun May 6 04:01:19 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
I've been doing a lot of things trying to make it works, but it seems they have been not enough yet.
The current status is that it's giving me when i try to do: ifconfig wlan0 up
[ 7258.112884] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
This wifi adapter is from one Dell inspiron mini
Best regards

I'd also suggest you to upgrade your kernel to the one from backports. I have
similar card and it works fine on 3.2.

I think your firmware suggestion is probably the right one. I've owned a
succession of laptops/netbooks all with some variant of the broadcom
43xx chipset.
There are two versions of the firmware. The simplest way to achieve
liftoff is to connect to the internet via a wire just one time and
install the firmware-b43-installer the package, which downloads the
firmware and installs it. (If it is, as the log entry would suggest, a
"lp-phy" version of the chipset, it will tell you to install
firmware-b43-lp-phy-installer - I think that's the name, which does the
trick for that chipset).
After which rmmod b43 followed by modprobe b43 will reload the kernel
module which will load the firmware and everything should be OK.
Worked a treat for me a couple of weeks ago on my HP netbook, which is
running the Mint Debian Edition.

Well, I was not able to make b43 run on 2.6.32. Only 2.6.33 and later.

I use it with 2.6.32 kernel without any problem.

Did you make sure you have a dchp client installed? I deleted mine during package upgrades and when I had a power outage the machine would not connect to the net.
There are about 4 different ones.
