during the live-ISO testing of nightly, b43 wifi-driver is not being recognized or started and it cannot be seen in Tracker Networks add-on
As I saw in discussion, talk about b43 not being available is false see broadcom43xx

I tend to install broadcom wifi drivers using b43-fwcutter on Linux, would manuall install using "broken" fwcutter from HaikuPorts work??

Replying to theokeist:

fwcutter extracts firmware from closed source drivers. What we don't have is a driver, the OS part to manage the hardware.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Device "4331" is a "bwn" device, not a "bwi" device, so it really needs a different driver from FreeBSD which we don't have and is not easy to port.
