No problems on this laptop with BCM4311 and the latest kernel.

Generally, a blanket statement that something doesn't work offers very 
little usable information to work with. At the very least, you should gather 
some preliminary information yourself, such as:

1) the output of lsmod, to determine whether the b43 kernel module is 
loaded.

2) various bits of information from /var/log/messages. kernel messages from 
early in the boot process would report whether or not the kernel module was 
loaded, and if not why not. Or may be you have some error messages from 
NetworkManager, or wpa_supplicant, that point towards a clue.
