Broadcoam cards are indeed very fussy but for years the linux community has developped drivers and when another distribution was installed on this very computer aka Ubuntu there was NEVER any problems meaning the drivers do indeed exist.

you could try the bcma drivers instead of the nonfree one

Component: Release (media or process) => RPM Packages
