I had the same experience with my Belkin PCMCIA card on Toshiba laptop. I did a fresh install of Gutsy Tribe 5, Restricted Drivers Manager found the Broadcom 43xx family. I ticked the enable option. Downloading of the wl_apsta.o started & finished. Then nothing happened. Closed & opened Restricted Drivers Manager and ticked the enable option again but it wanted to download the file again. The browse button did nothing (no dialog box) so I typed the downloaded location of wl_apsta.o again. Again nothing happened.
In the end I got it working with the same downloaded file (from the same source with wget) and sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w wl_apsta.o The lights came on after ejecting & inserting the card and started working in Network Manager straight away.
