dmesg should show whether or not the proper firmware is loaded by the driver.

Well, probably most of the time. But I'm pretty sure that I've experienced within the last 18 month at least once a situation where the fact that a firmware file was missing was not obvious (i.e. no warning in the 'dmesg' output). Unfortunately I don't recall the exact hardware combination, but I believe I ran a test with one of the more "bloated cousins" (e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora or Knoppix) and was able to identify what was wrong.

Yes. :)

I've read this info and since my card is the BCM4312g, it is fully supported. :D

I hope it helps! Thanks.

Well, 'wl.tcz' is certainly not a firmware extension, but rather contains one of the two "competing" kernel modules. The other option is AFAIK the 'b43' kernel module that should be contained in the 'wireless-KERNEL.tcz' extension.
Now, I can't quite work out whether the former extension (which you have not managed to get going) needs firmware. But I'm pretty much convinced that the 'b43' one needs the 'firmware-openfwwf.tcz' extension to be installed. Furthermore the web page I had referenced in my earlier post is AFAICT predominantly referring to 'b43' (with some information of how to change things around between the two alternatives).
I'd therefore like to suggest you read the WHOLE page really carefully (keeping in mind this issue of this unfortunate competition). Following that you might want to give the 'b43' module a try.

Thank-you maro.
I'll try your suggestion this weekend.
