Just go to https://www.kernel.org/ and download the Linux kernel it has b43 included in it in drivers/net/wireless/b43 or use http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/

I do not have access to the source code of the broadcom firmware, but there is an open source project developing an open Source firmware http://www.ing.unibs.it/~openfwwf/ >I would like to try > something similar.
