    That was a comment of mine earlier in this thread.

    I've gone back over my notes, and I now think my reading of the Ubuntu reference example was not correct.
    I'll have to say I have found no firm evidence that anyone has got BCM43227 to work with anything but wl.
    I'd be glad to have someone else come up with an example that shows b43 is a viable solution.

    For anyone that's interested, the most authoritative discussion of Linux drivers for Broadcom wifis seems (to me) to be:
    http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Dr...devicefirmware
    It shows BCM43227 as 'not tested', meaning not tested with b43.
