I've used it too, with the AirForce One 4318 in my Acer laptop, but I
can't get it to do WEP, and it seems to cause some system instablity.
In the archives of this list (and those of debian-laptop) you'll find
that others (e.g Freddy Freeloader) have had even more difficulty with
it, so at the very least YMMV with bcm43xx.
