For b43 wireless drivers we have b43-fwcutter to fetch firware. But this
process is not automated. I suggest to execute
/usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware as package postinstall script (something
similar we have with MS fonts).

As workaround we have this implemented in YaST (Factory version) - when you
configure such device, you're asked to install && execute this fetcher. But for
example NetworkManager users don't use YaST - they should to do that manually.
