I'm not sure this is ready for prime time. After I installed it, my b43 was
never able to reconnect after any kind of disconnect. The log is uninformative:

===========================================
b43-phy0 debug: Wireless interface started

wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:14:bf:85:49:fa by local choice (reason=3)
===========================================

Reauthentication fails with a pop-up to reenter the WPA2 secret as I'm using
NetworkManager. I can only reconnect if b43 (and mac80211) are unloaded and
reloaded. I pulled the patch and confirmed that proper behavior is returned.
