Hi, why isn't this made available by default, bcm drivers are useless
without firmwares. It's pretty pointless to provide them only half
working. This is especially more frustrating in the fact they 'appear'
to work.

Please note the instruction i got only needed to type about 5 lines,
after digging 2 days on google i got my airport to work. Again i don't
understand why the installer script don't do it already by itself.
