I added a comment to the bottom of that page: Users of the softmac-based "bcm43xx" driver should use the firmware from here: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o FWIW, users of the mac80211-based "bcm43xx-mac80211" driver should use the firmware from here: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 For more up-to-date information, please see here: http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/bcm43xx#devicefirmware Hth!
