No bcm43xx is still bcm43xx, and it works with v3 firmware for me
(wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o, see link above). bcm43xx-mac80211 now has

for the v4 firmware, see your dmesg output.
AH yes it was because it was loading the b43 driver. So it's working
now, thanks. Weeks ago when I tried the reason why it never worked
was because of the missing pci-id in sysfs. I think I'll move the
stuff in rc.local to somewhere earlier in the boot process though
because several services which rely on the network being present fail
to startup (eg autofs pulling stuff from ldap) and wpa_supplicant
segfaults too.
I have found a good place to load the bcm43xx driver to be rc.sysinit,
to where I moved the two lines from rc.local after line 301, right after
the 'fix console loglevel' block. When the driver gets loaded thus
early, wpa_supplicant should be ok.
