Dunno if it might help Amiga family of OSes, but OSNews.com seems to be all excited about Broadcom open sourcing their wireless drivers

The licence seems to be MIT/BSD.

For the moment perhaps more immediately interesting for the AROS Wireless project. Though I wouldn't mind seeing that ported over to OS4, so then perhaps exciting for more of us.

It might help AROS wireless stack I believe. Now it's currently supporting Atheros if I'm sure.
