I just installed Arch Linux in my network (Lenovo S10). It had a Broadcom wireless card, and here was the information from "lspci -vnn | grep 14e4"
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1713] (rev 02)
05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:04b5]
I partly followed the wireless tutorial in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup and http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43. First I installed bc-fwcutter by "pacman -S bc-fwcutter", and then downloaded the latest Broadcom wireless driver from http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/ (in my case it was broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 ). In the end I install it with bc-fwcutter
bc-fwcutter -w "/lib/firmware/" wl_apsta.o
After that I loaded modules lib80211_crypt_tkip and b43. Here was results from "lsmod | grep b43"
b43 157859 0
mac80211 151387 1 b43
cfg80211 108137 2 b43,mac80211
led_class 1997 1 b43
ssb 39339 1 b43
mmc_core 45599 2 b43,ssb
pcmcia 26354 2 b43,ssb
Finally the wireless interface showed up. I tried to use wicd to connect to the a WPA2 encrypted wireless channel, but the error "Bad Password" occured. I am sure the password was correct. It also happened to other wireless channels. So I guess there may be some problems (e.g., perhaps I installed the wrong driver). This wireless card used to work in Fedora last year just by pulling the Broadcom wireless package from yum's repo. So I am sure there must be some working Linux driver.
Thanks.

Can you connect to non-encrypted networks? How about wep? (That is as much as I can help, but it might provide more data for somebody with better knowledge.)
I need a sorted list of all random numbers, so that I can retrieve a suitable one later with a binary search instead of having to iterate through the generation process every time.

I tried for an unsecure wireless channel without encryption. It did not work.

Check your logs for errors.
Also, try connecting manually, using whatever combination of wpa_supplicant, iwconfig, ifconfig, and/or dhcpcd is required for your WLAN. GUIs like wicd etc get in the way of troubleshooting.
