Description
In Colin's commit r34435, he provided instructions for installing the firmware for the broadcom43xx wifi driver. According to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#firmware_installation , the b43-cutter must be used by the end user for preparing the hardware's firmware. eg, the firmware cannot be prepped in advanced and provided as a simple unzip-to-install.

The source seems to require <byteswap.h>, which is not yet provided as a public header. There are a few byteswap.h inside Haiku's source tree.
With this binary, I should be able to create an OptionalPackage? & installer script that can be run automatically at first boot.
