The kernel driver for bcm43xx likely wasn't included. l.capriotti will have to confirm. I can't remember if that one requires a microcode download or not, if so, I don't think we will be able to distribute it due to licensing.

What chipset does the external key use? (lspci)

If you can connect with the ethernet (eth0) device you can do;
1) aptitude update
2) aptitude install b43-fwcutter
That will download the correct microcode and firmware for your broadcom wifi.
After that you will then need to follow the above and configure it in /etc/network/interface (or with iwconfig)
Works for me (b43xx chipset)
