The BCM4310 is not currently in the PCI_ID database of bcm43xx; therefore the
driver will not load.
I tell you how to include it below, but I cannot promise that it will work as I
do not know what
kind of card it is. If it is a mini-PCI, it should be OK. If PCI-E, it may not.
The first thing to do is use the command 'lspci -n'. For bus 30:00.0, you will
see a line like
30:00.0 Class 0yyy: 14e4:xxxx (rev 01)
Take the numbers that are in the position of the xxxx above, substitute them in
place
of the ffff in the patch below, and apply the patch. After patching, do a
kernel make, and issue
the command 'make modules_install' as root. Then issue a 'modprobe -r bcm43xx'
as root. The
card should then show up in iwconfig. Please send me the output in dmesg that
relates to the
card, and the value of xxxx above.

If you are not comfortable in patching the kernel code, this link,
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Gentoo_on_HP_Compaq_nx6325, describes the
experiences
of one user in getting Linux to run on this laptop. In this case, ndiswrapper
was used to get the
wireless working.
