Hi,

I recently got a new MacBook Pro Retina (15"), which comes with a  
Broadcom 4360 Wifi:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360  
802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

I installed Fedora 21 on it. Getting Wifi up and running was sort of a  
PITA, as it required installing the kmod-wl RPM via an USB stick [1].

Can I, as a user, contribute to having the b43 kernel module support  
BCM4360 [2], e.g. by testing stuff?

Regards
Bernhard
