I had the b43 on a laptop I once had (a HP, don't remember the model 
number), it was a bit of a pita, but then they released the NdisWrapper 
and you could use the ms-windows driver, worked for the most of the 
time, sometimes you needed to reboot to get the wifi to work, that was 
before there was an open source driver that worked.
