11N is a new wireless specification for much higher speeds, your
computer shipped with a Broadcom chipset for that specification.

Yes. Broadcom is not releasing information on how to program it.

If you can, return it, the wireless in it is dead. You could possibly
swap it out but it might or might not work and it usually takes a lot of
effort.

No, its a crappy workaround to run Windows drivers in the Linux kernel.
