Well, if the rtl card connects fine and the broadcom with the same
configuration doesn't
then it is unlikely to be a configuration issue.
It could also be a firmware issue. If the correct firmware is not getting
loaded to the card, then it will not function. (Broadcom has had a number
of cards that require proprietary firmware blobs or have in the past.)
There have been various hacks to cut the firmware blobs out of Windows
drivers for use in Linux.
"ethtool -i <devicename>" will also tell you the driver.

has some interesting information.
Searching for the model number of the card will also give you information
of what you have to hack to get the card working.
