You missed the following line from the Wiki: 14e4:4315 not supported BCM4312 802.11b/g - low power The LP-PHY devices need to use Broadcom's wl driver. In openSUSE, the Packman repository has a package for it. I don't know about Gentoo. The firmware is built into that driver, so all you need to do is install the appropriate package (if it exists), or download the source and binary blob from Broadcom and build a module for your kernel.
