Some of these devices are also supported by the free b43 and brcm80211
drivers. In order to avoid conflicts /etc/modprobe.d/b43_blacklist.conf
disables these drivers.
Read the included LICENSE.txt file (placed in /usr/doc) before using the
proprietary driver.
If you would like to name your interface wlan0 instead of eth1, either
rename the device in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules or build
the package with:
IFNAME=wlan ./broadcom-sta.SlackBuild
