Unless I've missed something... The bcm43xx driver is supposed to make
Airport Extreme work on PPC ( Mac iBooks etc) In other words, it is a
breakthrough, immature though it may be.

As the owner of an iBook with this Broadcom chipset, I have been looking
forward to this and I, and a lot of others, would not look kindly on
removing it.

ndiswrapper is not an option on PPC
