I know of no current linux distro that supports both b43 and wl; it's either one or the other.
The tangled list of which PCI-ID goes with which driver would make a nice hardware museum.
Dear utu:
What excites me about the IBM PC/Clones is the ability to OPEN the hood! Software has always lagged behind and needs to catch-up! Software "101" in the distro world should be wireless networking. I've got NO use for the burnt ISO's that fail this basic hurdle.
