I have an old laptop with a BCM4322 wifi card.

I don't have this, but look up in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43

Check out Kconfig. Looks like there's a b43 and b43legacy kmod for
it. Interesting to note is this:

This driver supports the new BCM43xx IEEE 802.11G devices, but not
the old IEEE 802.11B devices. Old devices are supported by
the b43legacy driver.
Note that this has nothing to do with the standard that your AccessPoint
supports (A, B, G or a combination).
IEEE 802.11G devices can talk to IEEE 802.11B AccessPoints.

It is safe to include both b43 and b43legacy as the underlying glue
layer will automatically load the correct version for your device.

This driver uses V4 firmware, which must be installed separately using
b43-fwcutter.

What is b43-fwcutter I'm not sure, but there's a project here: https://github.com/mbuesch/b43-tools

Looks like you might have to go fishing for your own firmware. I don't
have it in my current Current firmware directory tree.
