You are asking in the wrong place.  If a piece of hardware is not supported under a given operating system - you ask the manufacturer (Broadcom, you said) of said hardware *if* and when they may support that particular product under the given OS.
 
Have you tried downloading the latest drivers and installing them in compatibility mode?

Although, looking at that web page, a Wireless Networking driver was released for that system for Windows 8 on 10-12-2012 ; although it is not "Broadcom" but Atheros...
 
The latest Broadcom (from Acer) driver listed that may be able to be installed under Windows 8 is this one - and may help you if installed in compatibility mode.
