New driver for Broadcom wireless cards

Finally there's a driver for Broadcom wireless cards, including 4328 which only worked using ndiswrapper.
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
There are discussions about it on the Ubuntu forums

on the Debian forums

and on the Gentoo wiki

Re: New driver for Broadcom wireless cards

Actually, this driver already has a Wiki page, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312.  The new information is that it doesn't just work with bcm4312 cards, but all modern 43xx cards.  See the forum links in the previous message.

The driver is already available in AUR,
