Newer rawhide kernels contain bcm43xx support anyway.

Use John Linville's 'netdev' kernels:

Yeah. My PowerBook runs rawhide kernels because the bcm43xx driver works
better there. ISTR with the FC4 netdev kernel it would lose the
connection every time NetworkManager scans for networks; with the FC5
kernel it manages to stay connected. Nobody knew why; we couldn't be
bothered to investigate. It may no longer be happening now that FC4 is
also updated to 2.6.15.
