[rfc] removing the NDISulator

[Steve Wills]

I would love to have a native driver for this:

none2 at pci0:2:0:0:       class=0x028000 card=0x00101028 chip=0x472714e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device     = 'BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller'
    class      = network

Are there docs or other drivers available that we could look at?
