Hello!
I've never heard of a wireless card being 'bricked' before, but since Broadcom cards load card-specific firmware at startup, I won't say it isn't possible. Then again, it could have just picked this particular moment to die.
I dug out a similar laptop from the attic today and removed the wireless card. It's an Intel, which SHOULD be detected automatically by the Linux kernel.

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
