2.6.17-rc kernels have the bcm43xx reverse engineered driver merged. It
doesn't work perfect yet (no WPA for me, but some have it working), but
good enough to be useful. I use it with a Linksys cardbus WPC54G-v3 EU,
but it's supposed to work with the PCI version as well (I might want to
try that this weekend, have the card but not yet enough time to plug it
into the machine).
