I was wrong in last reply.
firmware-b43-installer.postinst already download 'latest' firmware archive.
However, the hardware detection logic is kind of outdated.
I went through the following page:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices
and made attached patch to reflect most recent support state.
Of course, 4331 is moved to supported.
Note that lpphy stuff seems outdated now and we can just use b43 for 4315.
