A few more observations about my basic modaliases patch..... the aliases
beginning ssb/bcma are inferior.  In software-properties-gtk the vendor
and model are listed as unknown.  Aliases beginning with pci can be
generated from the ssb/bcma module aliases, but like I said above, I
don't know how to split them into the b43/b43legacy packages.
I would highly recommend the the b43legacy package being turned into a
dummy package, and letting the firmware-b43-installer package install
the legacy firmware when appropriate.  The two packages cause much
confusion.  For example, this highest voted answer on AskUbuntu gets it
wrong http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-
drivers/60395#60395
