Jockey still had a handler for b43 until maverick. It was dropped in natty and above, as our linux-firmware package has shipped the firmware since then: /lib/firmware/brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw /lib/firmware/brcm/bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43236b.bin Also, we now use the "wl" driver by default, which works a lot better (or at all) on the hardware we have test access to. ubuntu-drivers-common does not have any particular "handlers". If we still want b43-fwcutter for some reason (perhaps it might extract different firmware than the one in linux-firmware), it should grow a Modaliases: package field to say which hardware it should be applied to. Then u-d-common will pick it up automatically.
