Don't bother with system-config-network. bcm43xx cards need firmware (that Broadcom won't let us package and redistribute, grr) to operate. Have you gotten the firmware installed? If not - install the bcm43xx-fwcutter and read the README therein for a long list of places to get firmware. You'll need 4.x firmware for that driver/card, probably. -w
