Enough said.

Juanito:
The version of b43-fwcutter in this extension is out of date and superseded by the latest version in the 5.x repo.
The rest of the tools in this extension seem to be (I may be mistaken) intended for developers to aid in reverse engineering and related tasks.

You could test wicd in tc-5.x and let us know if it works..

Whats interesting is that both wifi & wicd have NO problem enabling the hardware LED or finding neighborhood access points. The trick is to get them both to reliably connect to my WEP encrypted cell!

Are you using rfkill to unblock your wifi hardware (ref "Soft blocked: yes")?
iw.tcz, ndiswrapper.tcz, firmware-ipw2100.tcz, firmware-ipw2200.tcz, firmware-iwlwifi.tcz, firmware-libertas.tcz, firmware-wimax.tcz, firmware-zd1211.tcz and b43-tools.tcz are not required "onboot"
As per "Hardware crypto acceleration not supported by firmware" from dmesg, you might be better off using the cut oem firmware rather than the firmware/firmware-openfwwf extensions.

Did you try this from the command line rather than using wifi.sh/wicd?
Did you try wicd in tc-5.x?
Juanito:
I looked back to when I used to have broadcom wifi hardware that worked with b43 and a wap that used wep and this worked for me:
--- Code: ---$ tce-load -i b43_firmware [oem cut firmware]
$ tce-load -i wireless_tools
[at this point you would need to load rfkill and use it to unblock your hardware]
$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "342rju1656"
$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 key restricted 7D:3A:7C:72:F7:9A:6F:91:DF:CF:C9:AD:CE
$ sudo udhcpc -b -i wlan0 -x hostname:box -p /var/run/udhcpc.wlan0.pid
