Seriously?!?!! OMG.  I just was reading Linux Unwired, and they warned 
that there is no support for Broadcom due to that problem, documentation 
or cooperation.   That's horrible.

I wonder if the wireless lan kit for the shuttles 
(http://global.shuttle.com/Product/Accessories/acc_Spec.asp?A_id=40) 
might fit nicely into the mini...  Though, I hope they don't use 
broadcom either.

If it'll help maybe we should write letters to CE0 "Scott A. McGregor" 
and CTO "Dr. Henry Samueli":

   Broadcom Corporation
   16215 Alton Parkway
   Irvine, California USA 92618

Perhaps nothing will heppn, but then you never know...
