The b43 driver has been upstream since 2.6.23, FWIW.
i just know i'm going to regret asking this but what's the story with the "b44" driver? is that a proposed improvement over b43? i'm reading the output from Teh Google and i'm still not clear on how it fits into all this.
b44 is a driver for 100Mb ethernet devices. It's only relation to b43 is that both pieces of hardware have internal SSB buses. It has been around a long time and it certainly is not a wireless device at all.
Hth! ;-)
