You have a BCM4312 rev02. To get it to work with b43, you need to do the following: (1) Get 2.6.24-rcX source code from http://www.eu.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/. (2) Get the patch file from http://linuxwireless.org/download/b43/patch_2.6.24_for_4311_2. (3) Expand the kernel source, apply the patch, and build a new kernel. (4) Follow the firmware installation directions at http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43. When all these steps have been completed, your BCM4312 should work correctly, except for the LED associated with the radio on/off switch. We are working on that problem. If kernel building is beyond your skill level, you will need to wait for your distro to use a 2.6.25 kernel. In that case, only step 4 will need to be done. Thanks for the SPROM data.
