Subscribing kernel team. Is this driver really something which we should
offer to users via graphical means (and thus make it very easy)? It
seems we've had three drivers (b43 with fwcutter, bcmwl, and now the
relatively new bcma one). Which of these do we actually still support?
We can't expect that users are qualified to pick between these three,
that's our job.

Title:
"Modaliases" field missing from debian control file
Status in b43-fwcutter package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The b43 module is not listed as an option by the "additional drivers"
section of the software-properties-gtk utility. This takes its
information from the ubuntu-drivers-common package and a bug has been
reported against that package
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-
common/+bug/1186779 ).
However, if I'm reading things correctly, the firmware-b43-installer
package could solve this by providing a modaliases field in the debian
control file. For example, the bcmwl-kernel-source package has the
line:
Modaliases: wl(pci:v000014E4d*sv*sd*bc02sc80i*)
This would be scanned by the ubuntu-drivers-common package and
consequently appear in software-properties-gtk.
