I am still a bit confused. (First thanks for the links all of you
provided, but I have visited those web before).

Here is the thing:
BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n fit for
BCM4331              b/g  HT (r1)

What does the 802.11a for?

Well, your card can operate in 5GHz band (frequencies). But I'm not
 really sure why you ask about this at all.

 If you want to try experimental BCM4331 support you have to:
 1) Install kernel 3.2-rc3 or newer

I have the 3.2.0-rc6

 or
 2) Install compat wireless

 After that you've do install firmware (check for wiki howto for kernel
 3.2 and newer).

after installation of the compat-wireless,

from
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#firmware

 # aptitude install firmware-b43-installer


Setting up b43-fwcutter (1:015-9) ...
Setting up firmware-b43-installer (1:015-9) ...
No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation
Unsupported device(s) found: PCI id 14e4:4331
Aborting.

I don't know which part is wrong here.

Thanks

P.S.
Please, don't top post.
