Hi,
I don't know which one (else) can be fit for bcm4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02)
From http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx#b43_and_b43legacy
I tried:
1] aptitude install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation
No supported card found.
Use proper b43 or b43legacy firmware.
Aborting.
2] # aptitude install firmware-b43-installer
No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation
Unsupported device(s) found: PCI id 14e4:4331
Aborting.
both of the listed are not working,
lspci showed:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02)
Thanks for providing some suggestions or links.

Missing firmware is not yet the problem.
As the ERROR message above says, the PHY contained in the BCM4331 is not
supported by your version of b43. It takes kernel 3.2-rc3+. You can also get
that version of the driver by installing the latest version of bleeding-edge
compat-wireless found at http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/.
You will need to build that code, unless Debian has such a package.
Once you get the correct version of b43, then the firmware and the firmware
cutter are available at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43.
