what/where are the approved versions? I used 
http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 for the 
firmware. I regressed to ndiswrapper and everything works fine using the 
firmware that came from the laptop's driver. 

b43 is getting there. All involved: keep up the good work!  
 
thanks,
