+ found in the Apple Airport Extreme and various other devices. This
+ driver supports 802.11a and 802.11g, but not 802.11b. As a result,
+ BCM4301 and BCM4303 are not supported - use b43legacy instead.
+ It is safe to include both b43 and b43legacy as the ssb driver will
+ load the correct version for your device.
+
+ This driver uses V4 firmware, which must be installed separately using
+ b43-fwcutter.
+
+ This driver can be built as a module (recommended) that will be
called "b43".
