Hi,

I don't know which one (else) can be fit for bcm4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02)

From http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx#b43_and_b43legacy

I tried:

1] aptitude install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer

No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation
No supported card found.
Use proper b43 or b43legacy firmware.
Aborting.

2] # aptitude install firmware-b43-installer

No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation
Unsupported device(s) found: PCI id 14e4:4331
Aborting.

both of the listed are not working,

The bcm4331 support in b43 is pretty new so I do not expect distros are
providing packages for it. Your best bet is to get linux-firmware repo
from git.kernel.org. Probably the b43 developers can point you to the
specific firmware file you need to use for that phy.
