Does this answer your question? My wireless/WiFi connection does not work. What information is needed to diagnose the issue? — waltinator, Oct 27 '23 at 20:43

Apparently there is some workaround available: You'll first need to blacklist the b43 driver by adding a blacklist file to /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf with the contents "blacklist b43". Then run update-initramfs -u and then install the bcmwl-kernel-source package. After a reboot your wireless device should be available.
