Tip: use "export LANG=C" before running commands and posting the result to the forum. I guess your error message means, that you do not have the kernel source installed:
slapt-get -u
slapt-get -i kernel-source

Also have a look at http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1313 I don't know if you really need this driver package or only the firmware files.

Wow Success
Thanks @thenktor
Mini howto:
slapt-get -u
slapt-get -i kernel-source
slapt-src --install broadcom-sta
rmmod b43
rmmod ssb
rmmod wl
echo "blacklist b43" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "blacklist ssb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
insmod wl
slapt-get -i wicd
reboot
ifconfig
Localize new interface wifi
Configure wicd
Finish
Freedom for all
