The codebase which this package use has been discontinued upstream. The upstream replacement (which is not in Portage directly) is simply a copy of the in-kernel b44 driver code. For this reason we are suggesting everyone migrates to the b44 in-kernel driver (I guess net-misc/bcm4400 doesn't really have any users anyway...). bcm4400 will be removed in about 28 days.
