Just go to https://www.kernel.org/ and download the Linux kernel it has
b43 included in it in drivers/net/wireless/b43 or use
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/

I do not have access to the source code of the broadcom firmware, but
there is an open source project developing an open Source firmware
http://www.ing.unibs.it/~openfwwf/

I am just working on the driver and treating the firmware as a black box.
