 The b43{,legacy} driver is available for ppc, ppc64, sparc64, alpha...you can
get a Broadcom chipset into anything with PCI.  Why should we limit where this
package is available?  With hardlinks it's not really any more burden to mirrors.
 (Great, now I need to go see if it actually works in any of those...)
