Hi
I've got a problem with a broadcom 4312 [12e4:4315].
The environment :
===========================
uname -a
2.6.35.5-libre.29.fc14.x86_64 

lspci -vnn
0b:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g 
[14e4:4315] (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000b]
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
        Memory at fe7fc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
        Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?>
        Capabilities: [e8] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+

        Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 7f-78-4e-ff-ff-6d-00-23
        Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
        Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
        Kernel modules: ssb
===============================

Installation method ( http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-lp 
) :
You are using the b43 driver from linux-2.6.25 or newer
export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver
sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-013/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" 
wl_apsta_mimo.o


Seems work : ls /lib/firmware/b43-open/
a0g0bsinitvals5.fw   a0g1bsinitvals9.fw   b0g0bsinitvals9.fw  
lp0bsinitvals15.fw  n0initvals11.fw  ucode5.fw
a0g0bsinitvals9.fw   a0g1initvals13.fw    b0g0initvals13.fw   lp0initvals13.fw  
  pcm5.fw          ucode9.fw
a0g0initvals5.fw     a0g1initvals5.fw     b0g0initvals5.fw    lp0initvals14.fw  
  ucode11.fw
a0g0initvals9.fw     a0g1initvals9.fw     b0g0initvals9.fw    lp0initvals15.fw  
  ucode13.fw
a0g1bsinitvals13.fw  b0g0bsinitvals13.fw  lp0bsinitvals13.fw  
n0absinitvals11.fw  ucode14.fw
a0g1bsinitvals5.fw   b0g0bsinitvals5.fw   lp0bsinitvals14.fw  n0bsinitvals11.fw 
  ucode15.fw


But : 
dmesg
b43-phy3 ERROR: You must go to 
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the 
correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all 
instructions on this website.

So don't work.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I thought nevertheless that with this kernel that was going to work.
No idea, I thing is due of the model [12e4:4315]. Is there anyone who can say 
to me if it possible to install and configure this card with a free-kernel.

Thanx !

Cyrille
