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.
