> it supports everything Broadcom's driver does with one exception (BCM4313 chipsets)

Last I checked my work laptop's BCM4322 worked only with the proprietary driver; the laptop is several years old and the b43 driver has always reported "Unsupported PHY" and I always ignored the problem (don't need wireless that much). The new Broadcom driver *should* support this chip (as per the changelog of my distro's kernel) but I haven't had time to check it before going on vacation last week.

But if Rafał is right and b43 indeed supports this chip, I'll be pleasantly surprised. But it may be that I'm wrongly assuming that BCM4313 and BCM4322 and different chipsets :)
