There's multiple broadcom drivers in/for the linux kernel:

* b43, the reverse engineered one, from the community
* brcmsmac - the softmac broadcom driver, from broadcom
* the STA only binary driver from broadcom, closed source, not in the
kernel.

I'd really like to see bwi/bwn maintained and have support added for the
later hardware.

Thanks,
