Please check comment #17:
I meant "lie" of course. I also Googled for: "14e4:4312" "Broadcom 4312 wlan found" and then for: "14e4:4312" "Broadcom 4311 wlan found" the first one won't give you any real, non-false, results. According to http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/14e4/4312 john.s.gustafsson submitted name for this PCI ID containing "BCM4312". He probably though PCI ID is in direct relation with Broadcom chipset used on card. john.s.gustafsson referred to link: https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2007-March/004312.html that does not work. I searched mails from March 2007, but didn't find anything related. We really need to treat this as mistake and fix table and pci database. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
