Comment 2 for bug 1186779

"the quality of the driver got worse and worse over time", really?

I just switched one box from wl to b43 in order to make Hotspot work.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless also recommends trying b43 before wl.

"downloading the firmware is legally questionable at best"
Well, can we let user make the choice given some warning?

At the very least, even if u-d-c doesn't want to pull b43-firmware for users.
It would be nice if it can detect existing b43 usage and make driver switching easier.

As I'm using b43 and the WiFi is functioning, but u-d-c tells me that my device is not working.
