> We actually did have b43 support for quite a while (in jockey), but as the quality of the driver got worse and worse over time
I'm sorry to hear that. We got some regressions with 802.11n cards, I've spent many hours to track them all, and we believe all of them are fixed (in current and stable kernels, including Ubuntu's one). Can you point me to any remaining regressions in b43? I'm not aware of any. > and downloading the firmware is legally questionable at best, we disabled it. You can't actually download the firmware, to be precise. Common practice is to include bash script for downloading Broadcom's official driver and call b43-fwcutter (open source tool, GPL AFAIR) to extract firmware from the driver. What part of this do you find illegal? You provide web browsers which can be used for downloading illegal content. You provide torrent clients which can be used for downloading/sharing illegal content. Oh, and you provide TCP stack.
