Try the 2.6.17 kernel. I have done it on both Kubuntu Dapper and Slackware 10.2, both with the Broadcom wireless (BCM4306), and it does work. The driver is called "bcm43xx". My two test mules were the Dell Latitude D600 and D610 laptops, both with an official Linus 2.6.17.11 kernel. You do need their firmware image, but that's easily Googleable, and it goes in<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/lib/firmware once you download and extract it.
