Linux driver for Broadcom BCM4312 [14e4:4315]
Subsystems (2)
Hi
I found some valuable help on
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
Thank you all.
I don't know if that has reached you already, but for the formentioned PCI-WLAN-Controller there is a driver readily available at Broadcom's

Happy if I could contribute, if not...
Regards,

Yes, but that driver is a proprietary blob that nobody can fix or update when new features hit the kernel. The upstream 'b43' and 'b43-legacy' drivers are the right place for any Broadcom wifi hardware support.
If you're interested in helping, I know the b43 project needs some help implementing parts of the N-PHY spec still, and also help reverse-engineering the LP-PHY bits that are common in netbooks.
