Absolutely agree with what Neal mentioned, Broadcom is not friently with 
Opensource Community. I am investigating Broadcom 43xx native 
driver(bwi) in BSD world as well, it seems bwi is still in very early 
stage in chipsets coverage and quality, it is not a good time point to 
bring it to Solaris, I think.
If anyone has some good news about bwi or Broadcom, please let me know.
