To answer Paolo - the wireless device did show up and appeared to be usable if I blacklisted bcma on the kernel commandline. Trying to use 'blacklist bcma' in modprobe.d/ did not work.
Steve had suggested that if the b43 driver is unusable, like an unsupported PHY, that the module should not be loaded / used anymore. I don't know how feasible that is though.
