Actually, I think it's ok to set status to 'Rejected' for the bcm43xx-
fwcutter package.

This bug is now also registered against linux-source-2.6.20, where I
believe the fix would have to be implemented.

My suggestion is that the kernel should be modified to include two
parallel versions of bcm43xx.  One version would use the softmac stack,
the other would use the new devicescape stack.

There's even a howto for this on the bcm43xx home page:
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2006-April/001662.html

The kernel could attempt to cut and use V4 firmware and devicescape
stack, and if that fails, cut and use version 3 firmware and softmac
stack instead.
