Maybe you need to install the firmware? My laptop still uses the b43 driver but not entirely w/o issue.
# yum search b43

The instructions mentioned above include removing b43 and replacing it with something downloaded from Broadcom.

Yes, I'm aware of that, however, the driver is useless without the firmware installed. Whether the native CentOS 6 firmware package will work with your driver is a question I cannot answer. I see no reference in the link you posted about firmware but since it discusses removing and blacklisting the b43 driver I would guess the are assuming the firmware is installed.
I would start with native packages in CentOS 6 and if operation is unsatisfactory then seek another solution.
Just my $0.02.
