Err, actually the bcm43xx driver is supposed to be in FC5. It's disabled by
default because it doesn't work for everyone yet (and goes as far as locking up
the system when loaded on systems it doesn't work on - so you definitely want
to modprobe it by hand before configuring it to be on by default), but
bcm43xx-fwcutter in Extras has instructions for how to enable it. If you're one
of these people for whom it doesn't work, you'll have to wait for it to get
fixed, but in principle it's there.
