It is easily possible using libb43.py
http://bu3sch.de/gitweb?p=b43-tools.git;a=blob;f=debug/libb43.py;h=e5c563823a5f67aea30587a22e0eabab063358fb;hb=HEAD
See class B43.

However, dumping registers in b43 is not as easy as it looks like.
There is a _lot_ of indirect addressing and it has the tendency to
lock up on certain machines and cards, if you access dangling registers.
