I will connect to my network via ethernet on Wednesday. Once I do that, what do I need to do?
Thank you,

Hmm, that doesn't make a lot of sense.. dpkg is a command line utility, and shouldn't open up the software center. I'm still confused why you can't install it from the cd... not sure whats going on there.
Regardless, this should do it.
Plug the laptop into the internet connection
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
Let it finish, then go to Additional Drivers, and activate the b43 driver and restart.
I believe that should do it
I'm not sure why you're having problems w/ the instructions I put above, I went through them 3x on my broadcom machine (on a live cd, w/o an internet connection) and it worked just fine.
