Title:
  Support b43 driver family

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  b43: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

  u-d-c is a nice way of installing drivers!

  However, it doesn't treat b43 as an option for Broadcom wireless
  chips.

  As documented by the b43 wiki, b43 has its advantages and disadvantages.
  http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Comparison_of_recent_drivers

  So we'd give the users b43 as a choice.

  From my own experience, sometimes b43 works better and sometimes
  worse.

  b43-fwcutter source package of Debian/Ubuntu has helper script binary
  package for installing firmware needed by b43.
