The discoverer of Broadpwn is going to be holding a briefing on it at Black Hat on Thursday, July 27. We should know more after that, but since the problem is in the Broadcom Wi-Fi chipset firmware it is possible that this bug could be exploited if you have Wi-Fi enabled, even if it is not connected.
