I am using dhcpd and it's working because against the same router the
usb wifi card works.
Also I had some progress:
I managed to configure and make the Broadcom card work with
broadcom-wl drivers (propretiery)
According to the wiki
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless) though this
is not recomended and I would prefer to use the b43 driver.

my kernel messages can be found here:

I assume that dhcpd daemon works fine because on all other interfaces
(and even on the wlan0 with wl driver) works fine.
I used the firmware from AUR.
