includes the bcm43XX drivers in their kernel, but you should see if it works
with your card. The website is here:
http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/

In case that doesn't work, you will probably have to blacklist the bcm43xx
drivers from loading and use ndiswrapper:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/
With ndiswrapper, you will take your Windows driver (.inf) and install it
with the command ndiswrapper -i yourdriver.inf
