If the wireless isn't available in Windows, it is not a question if 
Linux supports the Broadcom chipset, like others suggested. I think you 
should check two things:

1. Is there a hardware switch for wireless? At my Toshiba laptop there 
is a little slide switch at the front and sometimes I have switched it 
off unintendedly.

2. Check the BIOS if there is an entry to enable / disable the wireless.
