We should just be carefull about the fact there are 2 different open source drivers:
- brcm80211 which I could never use without crash
- b43
 * can run with b43-openfwwf for 4xxx hw.
 * needs nonfree firmware files for 4xxxx hw.


Then we maybe need to add some way for dkms-broadcom-wl
users to instruct the drakx tools that they prefer/need the
nonfree driver...


Yes, this is the most needed part, currently we just always install wl driver blindly.
