Download the broadcom driver sta from following location.

http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_248.tar.gz

Step2:
Setup the directory by untarring the proper tarball:

For 32 bit:  hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz
For 64 bit:  hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz

Example:
# mkdir hybrid_wl
# cd hybrid_wl
# tar xzf /hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz or 
 /hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz
