Not sure if your last post is saying that it's solved or not. Read through your attached text file and it appears the regular b43 driver wasn't correct. (Hard to tell from chart which was correct one to use -- I probably would have guessed regular at first also.) The legacy one seems to say it installed ok. I'm guessing at the end, when it says "...reboot", then "wicd manager reports no networks found" that it tried to restart the wireless service and didn't find anything.
Try doing a real reboot of the computer to see if it then works properly.
If not, open Synaptic Package Manager, search for "b43" and make sure that only one of the two drivers are installed. If you see both "firmware-b43-installer" and "firmware-b43legacy-installer" showing as installed, remove "firmware-b43-installer. (Leave "b43-fwcutter" there -- it is required by both drivers.) Reboot computer again after removal and hopefully everything will work on reboot.
