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.

Arend: I'm not sure how to say it nice... but there is only one
company starting with "B" having copyrights to the BCM4331 firmware.
Only this company can legally submit BCM4331 firmware to
linux-firmware repo.
