Hello,

Sorry for pinging this list but I did some searches and I couldn't find
responses...

I've got a new Dell Mini-10 ("Inspiron 1010"), with the following wifi
chipset: "BCM 4310 USB". It's got PCI-ID: 14e4:4315. Despite being marked
as "USB", I suppose it's a  mini-pci (as stated in this list's archives and
some other places).

But looking at:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Known_PCI_devices
I can see:

"14e4:4315      not supported   BCM4312 802.11b/g - low power"

So my 1st question is: are BCM4312 and BCM4310 "the same"? Why do they have
the same pci-id?

My second question: at the same page I can read:

"BCM 4310 USB - This device has an LP PHY. We think that means low power.
In any case, previous code does not work. The reverse engineers have
generated specs for the code writers and development is in progress. Note:
This card uses the PCI bus, despite its name."

Please, could you update this info? I don't know whether the comment is up
to date or whether (perhaps) some progress happened since then... any
experimental driver out there?

Thank you.
