   Thanks for the thoughts, but as I mentioned in my original post, I have the   
   firmware and it working with b43.   
      
   The reason I'm interested in the wl driver is that the b43 driver is a bit   
   flaky, whereas the wl one seems to work very well with this card.   
      
   Cheers.
