The hardware it supports should now be handled by the in-tree b43 driver. It seems that b43 is supposed to do everything that broadcom-sta did. (To use b43, you may need to install b43-fwcutter from contrib, and let it download firmware for your card. I have to, at least.)

It seems not to work with my Broadcom BCM4322 and kernel 2.6.31 . May be it will get better with kernel 2.6.32 .

Re: broadcom-sta was removed
It seems not to work with my Broadcom BCM4322 and kernel 2.6.31 . It works well for many people under various kernel versions, so you may want to insist a bit, or at least post a description of the way it doesn't work (dmesg output would be a good start, along with a description of what you've done).
