For b43 to support that device would require a major reverse-engineering effort
that none of us are willing to do, at least at this time. There was an E-mail
exchange (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=143947632524690&w=2) with Sean
yesterday about this issue. To summarize, this device needs to use the Broadcom
hybrid driver wl with the non-GPL kernel taint and all.
