Subject: [PATCH] b43: Remove EXPERIMENTAL designation from LP PHY selection

Since kernel 3.0, the problems with controlling b43 devices that have
low-power (LP) PHYs have been fixed and the EXPERIMENTAL designation
can be fixed.

This patch also fixes a typo as the device supports 802.11b communications.
