You will have to compile OpenWrt yourself to use the b43 driver but remember it is still a work in progress.  People have indicated that STA mode *can* work well, but AP mode still largely does not work.

We are working at stabilizing as many aspects of the project as we can at the moment in preparation for the next release but do not have a release date set.
