Broadcom announces wireless drivers for Linux

Broadcom announced today the initial release of its new open source wireless drivers for Linux. The drivers, which are built using the kernel's own native SoftMAC framework, are currently in the kernel staging tree and are expected to eventually be merged upstream.

Hopefully this will mean the end to fw-cutter and all other evils required in getting a broadcom card running.
