I saw that the page was updated to show support for the bcm4331 chip under
kernel 3.2rc2, so accordingly I've downloaded and installed a nightly build.

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2011-11-29-oneiric/

I've attached logs showing what happens when I try to load the bcma module
(which in turn loads b43).

I believe the fatal flaw is this one, below. How can I fix it?

Enable CONFIG_B43_PHY_HT to add support for BCM4331 (which is HT-PHY based).

Support for PHY_HT it experimental, so it's not enabled by default.
