Have you tried plugging in directly and enabling the wl driver in hardware drivers? That driver worked for my broadcom chipset in intrepid. Otherwise, install the ndisgtk package to install the windows driver for your wireless card.

Seems like your wireless card is a bit problematic with open source drivers, so you are better off using windows drivers with ndiswrapper.

Here's a guide that should help you:
