I confirm that it works, but not entirely without problems.

00:0c.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4303 802.11b Wireless LAN 
Controller (rev 02)
00:0c.0 0280: 14e4:4301 (rev 02)

With firmware (b43-fwcutter, yes for download) it works flawlessly. But
before installing b43-fwcutter, so without firmware, I get the following
in my logs:

ssb: FATAL ERROR: Bus powered down while accessing PCI MMIO space

A new error message is added every second. When I unload the module with
`sudo modprobe -r b43legacy' I get a kernel oops. It might be important
to add the following: I blacklisted b43legacy so it's not loaded on
boot. However, the b44 module _is_ loaded which also uses the ssb
module. I don't know if this is relevant, but the b44/b43legacy without
firmware combination might screw up ssb.

To summarize: it works, but not on fresh installations without firmware,
they produce ominous error messages every second.

To conclude: thanks for the fix! I only have wifi access, not ethernet,
so the fix is much appreciated!
