I confirm this regression (it worked in 7.10 and Hardy in Alpha6) for Hardy amd64 on HP Compaq NX6325.

Attached is lspci -v, dmesg looks the same like the others...

I also tried to copy the firmware used in 7.10 (which seems to be the original Broadcom FW) to /lib/firmware/b43/ucode5.fw but I got something like a format error. Obviously this ucode5.fw is another firmware (OS?). It did, however, refuse to work in G-Mode, gives you only 11 MBit / B-Mode.

Would be really disappointing to lose the out of the box WLAN feature in Hardy - dont want to got the ndiswrapper way. The NX6325 is a very popular notebook, would affect quite a few people.
