I have a BCM94312MCG, which driver should I choose and why?
The man pages are nearly identical.
It appears that bwn is newer/maintained?
And more modular with siba?
Can the newer upstream firmware at openwrt be used with bwn-firmware-kmod?

Where did the firmware blobs in the above file come from, here?
http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/
As a result of being written to this spec project?
http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/
http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/
With what I gather so far, I don't think they do?
Or from Broadcom, in a windows blob, which fwcutter is used with?
That's the part I'm not sure of. Where do I find the parent blob drivers?
broadcom.com doesn't seem to have any 802.11 wireless files, as
if it's all OEM.
And how might this come into play?

Trying to put the pieces together. Thanks.
