I'm not sure what a 14e4:4300 is, but if it worked with bcm43xx, then
it should work with b43, or quite likely with b43legacy.
The first step will be to apply the patch below to your kernel. Once
that is done, the device will be recognized. After you restart, then
run the command dmesg | egrep "ssb|b43" and post the results.
