I signed a NDA to get the documentation from Broadcom, so if you're interested in the documentation, you'll have to do the same. A other place where you could get some help is in some of the linux implentations. I've some days off from my work now, so maybe I could take a look on the driver again, and maybe we could meet on irc to talk about how you can help.
