You can also use b43-fwcutter to extract the firmware from a MacOS X
CD/installation, or a Windows driver CD that comes with the hardware.
But it remains a wizardry tasks, and a chicken-egg-problem if your only
way to get online is the Wifi.
(Broadcom should just allow us to redistribute that silly firmware...)
I'll open a jockey task for it again. We could at least add a check for
being online, or some additional instructions.
