I tried the new bcm43xx driver in the -mm kernel series. It failed to work at all. After asking about it on LKML I was told that it will only run with newer firmware which will only work on newer Broadcom chips with enough RAM.

I suppose that one of these days I'll be getting a newer laptop and I won't care anymore.
