Thanks ... However, it seems that this only supports a limited amount
of drivers:

# b43-fwcutter --list
b43-fwcutter version 008

Extracting firmware is possible from these binary driver files:

<driver>        <filename>              <microcode>     <MD5 checksum>

b43legacy       wl_apsta.o              295.14
e08665c5c5b66beb9c3b2dd54aa80cb3
b43             wl_apsta.o              351.126
9207bc565c2fc9fa1591f6c7911d3fc0
b43             wl_apsta_mimo.o         351.126
722e2e0d8cc04b8f118bb5afe6829ff9
b43             wl_ap.o                 410.2160
1e4763b4cb8cfbaae43e5c6d3d6b2ae7


Unlike bcm43xx-fwcutter which supported quite a lot.

And where does one obtain wl_ap.o ? The tar
http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
only contains wl_apsta.o
