You are right, I forgot the svn commit. Done.

Are you talking about wl closed source module driver? It does not use this 
firmware files, and do not match all the hardware b43 matches (I happen to have 
also one card that uses it, thanks to dkms-broadcom-wl )

Or you talk about b43 hardware for which openfwwf firmware will not work?
According to this pages all working b43 hardware accepts this firmware, except 
some PCMCIA which were worked on.

I don't know if we can do better :
1- try open source firmware
2- ask for windows driver if 1 did not work?
