Bug Description

Support for at least some Broadcom 801.11n wireless chipsets was just added to b43 by a kind hacker: http://zajec.net/blog/view/2010-broadcom-802.11n-in-b43 . Works for me on a MacBook4,1 with PCI ID 14e4:4328.

Currently these machines need the proprietary bcmwl (aka broadcom-sta) driver. It looks like the remaining patches will be going into wireless-testing soon, it would be great if this could be supported in Ubuntu.
