Uhm, the b43 page does not mention this. I guess you just have to try and

when possible, especially in this case where the external driver is 
actually a kludge around windows drivers.

As I said before, I did not have any problem (unfortunately, I cannot 
access the hardware now and check the bandwidth issue).
