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.
