Broadcom has made a conscious decision not to support Linux, which is the reason for this reverse-engineering project. The usual reason is that an open-source driver would expose their intellectual property to the competition. Writing or calling them will have no effect. They will say that if you want to use their product, then you need to run OS X or Windows. Under Linux, you can always use ndiswrapper. Of course, if you have a crash while running this way, you can kiss Linux kernel support goodbye. With respect to the 4311, you will be happy to learn that one of the developers (me) now has one. It does not work with any of the mainline (2.6.20 or wireless-2.6) kernels, nor with stable (2.6.19). It does work with the wireless-dev git tree, and I am trying to find the critical differences between the two trees. When I get a fix, the patches will be posted here.
