   I don't have this, but look up in   
   /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43   
      
   Check out Kconfig. Looks like there's a b43 and b43legacy kmod for   
   it. Interesting to note is this:   
      
    This driver supports the new BCM43xx IEEE 802.11G devices, but not   
    the old IEEE 802.11B devices. Old devices are supported by   
    the b43legacy driver.   
    Note that this has nothing to do with the standard that your   
   AccessPoint   
    supports (A, B, G or a combination).   
    IEEE 802.11G devices can talk to IEEE 802.11B AccessPoints.   
      
    It is safe to include both b43 and b43legacy as the underlying glue   
    layer will automatically load the correct version for your device.   
      
    This driver uses V4 firmware, which must be installed separately   
   using   
    b43-fwcutter.   
      
   What is b43-fwcutter I'm not sure, but there's a project here:   
   https://github.com/mbuesch/b43-tools   
      
   Looks like you might have to go fishing for your own firmware. I don't   
   have it in my current Current firmware directory tree.
