@Brian: by default, the b43 driver won't override the bcma driver (unless you force it to, of course).
As for ubuntu-drivers, it does things correctly, meaning that it lists the compatible proprietary driver (broadcom-sta-dkms), without recommending its installation (over the open driver).
The "Additional Drivers" interface (software-properties-gtk) lies - even here on my 2011 Macbook Air (with a BCM43224 wifi card, which I am using though the bcma driver - showing the Broadcom device, and saying that the "device is not working", and having "Do not use the device" selected. This is very confusing, although not specific to Ubuntu 23.04.
