Chances that you have one of these shitty wireless cards might be a little higher than you think. These cards are pure shit out of personal preference. Of all the things this has to be one of the most difficult, works out the box on some distros not at all on others. I will never buy another device with a broadcom chipset in it again. Alright right now that I have vented I will probably buy another broadcom device sometime in the future. Not intentionally tho. Anyways my hp mini 1000 it is 1030nr. Has a broadcom 4312 chipset wireless network device. I compiled a driver for it on the x86 rc2. I needed to share with all of you so you don't hate broadcom as much as I. Just drop into your modules folder and your good to go. These are the cards that it should work with.
All the resources to build this driver are at http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
download link this will only work if you have a 32bit version with the 2.6.38.7-porteus kernel. If you are using a different kernel use the link above then run through instructions.
