Did you also try to perform these steps manually with the b43-fwcutter package provided by Hardy (see my post above)? Trying this would give an idea of it is a) a problem of the b43-fwcutter package in Hardy itself not being able to extract the firmware or b) a problem of the installation script (or the restricted driver manager) not being able to call the fwcutter properly.

I personally have a broadcom 4312, installing with the b43-fwcutter manually works fine for me but I can't test the automated installation, as my only internet connection is wireless and so I have to download the firmware and vpnc manually, before doing a new install...
