Yes, I'm aware of that, however, the driver is useless without the
firmware installed. Whether the native CentOS 6 firmware package will
work with your driver is a question I cannot answer. I see no reference
in the link you posted about firmware but since it discusses removing
and blacklisting the b43 driver I would guess the are assuming the
firmware is installed.
I would start with native packages in CentOS 6 and if operation is
unsatisfactory then seek another solution.
Just my $0.02.
CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final)
