Yes that's what it means, and I believe it is just bcm43xx (bcm43xx.ko).
No more ndiswrapper installation, no more windows driver downloads, extracting or all. This is great news. Combined with the new nvidia driver that (supposely) support suspend-to-disk, linux on laptop just got better.
i'd wish, but it got worse --> black screen of death for me.

You mean the bcm43xx or nvidia? I wasn't able to try bcm43xx as the module woudn't modprobe. As of nvidia, its a long time since I didn't check if it was suspending ok (using suspend2)...

the new nvidia driver (1.0.8762). is causing the problem on my notebook, where X worked fine just a few hours ago.

Its working fine here... Maybe something's wrong in xorg.conf?

maybe you miss something under module? here's from my xorg.conf
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
EndSection
and maybe you get an error in /var/log/xorg.0.log
i'm out.

no and no. don't you think i'd check Xorg.0.log first? there's no error. there's no crash. only the display freezes.

Youre nvidia settings is quite complicated. Do you know what each lines do?

What does this have to do with the broadcom driver?

How am i supposed to know? i don't know you. Are you saying I shouldn't answer people with answers that "linux-pros" would know, in fear of hurting their feelings?
You might have been a "noob", and don't say that isn't possible because arch is a "pro-only" distro, because i've seen alot of noobs on this forum, and i just happened to be one half a year ago and still using archlinux...
