Not true.  There is hardware supported by bcm43xx that is not and
will not be supported by bcm43xx-mac80211.  The nasty part is there
are devices with the same PCI ID that some work with one driver,
and some work with the other.  Hopefully the new SSB bus code will
help us resolve which driver to load without user intervention.
