If you don't get a good answer here, then I would persue the ndiswrapper 
route.  I have a now about 2 years old HP dv5120us lappy, with a bcm4318 
radio in it, and with ndiswrapper, it logs in as fast at bootup as it would 
with a cat5 stuck in the side of it, at a reportedly full 54MB/S connection 
rate, which isn't noticeably slower than my 1.5/256 dsl connection.

Good luck, we seem to need that in copious quantity's anyplace Broadcom is 
mentioned.
