I've attempted to use b43 but on my card but it doesn't work, the module
never loads, despite me removing brcmsmac making sure that everything
has been unloaded and then loading b43, as well as blacklisting
brcmsmac, none of which worked. From what I've read there is meant to be
support but it's not been tested (I don't remember where the site was
but it had a list of Broadcom cards and their support status).

Thanks very much, I'll look into this.
