Nope, since it turns out that your bcm43xx driver isn't advertising
itself as a wireless device.  At least, it certainly doesn't have
any /sys/class/net/eth1/wireless directory.  Which it should.  So
something with the driver seems broken.

If you "cat /sys/class/net/eth1/type", what do you get?  Are there any
bcm43xx messages in the output of 'dmesg'?
