Unfortunately, it looks like the new driver only supports 3 chipsets, and none of the "older" SSB-based ones. Granted, it's a new driver, and they say it's designed with the idea that other chipsets can be added, but it's still a little disappointing.
(I say "older," because my BCM4322 is such a chipset, and it's in my 15-month-old MacBook Pro. How is that "old?")
Regardless, whatever their motivations, it's a nice start. I wonder if they plan to collaborate with the guys working on the b43 driver at all. They support a ton of chipsets, and (at least from my perspective) the main deficiency is the not-yet-finished (partly due to the reverse-engineering effort being incomplete) N-PHY support for the 11n chipsets.
