I'm told Ubuntu has something that pops up and tells broadcom wlan owners that they have hardware which requires restricted stuff and then installs it - probably by running a similar script - but the user doesn't have to figure out which chip he has, and then that the script exists for installing the firmware.
I have seen Ubuntu's system in action, and your suggestion is a good one. It should not be too difficult to modify an installation script to detect the presence of a Broadcom chip and do the firmware installation step. As b43 does not support all Broadcom chips, it would also be a useful step to note the unsupported chips and tell the user of their options. These choices would taint their kernel with unlicensed code, thus they should not be done automatically.
