Hi,
I don't know which one (else) can be fit for bcm4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02)
>From http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx#b43_and_b43legacy
I tried:
1] aptitude install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation
No supported card found.
Use proper b43 or b43legacy firmware.
Aborting.
2] # aptitude install firmware-b43-installer
No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation
Unsupported device(s) found: PCI id 14e4:4331
Aborting.
both of the listed are not working,
lspci showed:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02)
Thanks for providing some suggestions or links.

providing packages for it. Your best bet is to get linux-firmware repo
from git.kernel.org. Probably the b43 developers can point you to the
specific firmware file you need to use for that phy.

As the ERROR message above says, the PHY contained in the BCM4331 is not
supported by your version of b43. It takes kernel 3.2-rc3+. You can also get
that version of the driver by installing the latest version of bleeding-edge
compat-wireless found at http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/.
You will need to build that code, unless Debian has such a package.
Once you get the correct version of b43, then the firmware and the firmware
cutter are available at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43.

I am still a bit confused. (First thanks for the links all of you
provided, but I have visited those web before).
Here is the thing:
BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n fit for
BCM4331 b/g HT (r1)
What does the 802.11a for?

really sure why you ask about this at all.
If you want to try experimental BCM4331 support you have to:
1) Install kernel 3.2-rc3 or newer
or
2) Install compat wireless
After that you've do install firmware (check for wiki howto for kernel
3.2 and newer).
P.S.
Please, don't top post.
