Your card has a BCM4311 chip, the same as mine, but it is a different implementation. From your dmesg output, we find: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0000:03:00.0. Probably buggy MP table. PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64 bcm43xx: Chip ID 0x4311, rev 0x2 bcm43xx: Number of cores: 4 bcm43xx: Core 0: ID 0x800, rev 0x13, vendor 0x4243 bcm43xx: Core 1: ID 0x812, rev 0xd, vendor 0x4243 bcm43xx: Unsupported 80211 core revision 13 bcm43xx: Core 2: ID 0x817, rev 0x4, vendor 0x4243 bcm43xx: Core 3: ID 0x820, rev 0x5, vendor 0x4243 bcm43xx: PHY connected bcm43xx: Detected PHY: Analog: 4, Type 2, Revision 9 bcm43xx: Invalid PHY Revision 9 bcm43xx: Detected Radio: ID: 2205017f (Manuf: 17f Ver: 2050 Rev: 2) bcm43xx: Radio turned off The first problem is that interrupts will not be processed for this device. It may be a buggy MP table, incorrect firmware, or some other problem. I don't know at this point. In addition, it is unlikely that V3 firmware was ever written for this device - thus it will need to use bcm43xx-mac80211 with V4 firmware. As you have seen in the messages from Joseph Jezak, drivers for this device have not yet been reverse engineered. Sorry that we will not be able to help you with this problem for some time. This is the result of the total lack of cooperation from Broadcom, and too little manpower for the reverse engineering effort. We welcome volunteers.
