Yes, but that driver is a proprietary blob that nobody can fix or update
when new features hit the kernel. The upstream 'b43' and 'b43-legacy'
drivers are the right place for any Broadcom wifi hardware support.
If you're interested in helping, I know the b43 project needs some help
implementing parts of the N-PHY spec still, and also help
reverse-engineering the LP-PHY bits that are common in netbooks.
