Some additional info:
Its a mini pci-express card, label says:
BCM94312MCG rev GP3 P207 WMIB265G V00 EU 1BD7LBD

I hacked the bcm43xx driver in a linux 2.6.23 kernel to also include the
pci id of this card. Fails as expected, but maybe this dmesg info is
usefull:
bcm43xx: Chip ID 0x4312, rev 0x1
bcm43xx: Number of cores: 4
bcm43xx: Core 0: ID 0x800, rev 0x16, vendor 0x4243
bcm43xx: Core 1: ID 0x812, rev 0xf, vendor 0x4243
bcm43xx: Unsupported 80211 core revision 15
bcm43xx: Core 2: ID 0x80d, rev 0xa, vendor 0x4243
bcm43xx: Core 3: ID 0x820, rev 0x9, vendor 0x4243
bcm43xx: WARNING: Invalid SPROM checksum (0xB6, expected: 0xFF)
bcm43xx: Detected PHY: Analog: 6, Type 5, Revision 1
bcm43xx: Error: Unknown PHY Type 5

Probably this chip with preliminary N support:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM94321MC

Will this chip be supported by future version of this driver?

Regards,
Mark
