You can download a binary-only driver with a source wrapper from the broadcom web site. The driver is called wl, and seems to work after compiling and installing with only minor problems for me so far. OTOH, I haven't done anything with it yet apart from a few SSH and web sessions, not even any major file transfers on WiFi.
