You must be careful with BCM4312 units as some of them have rev 5 cores, but some have LP PHYs. The correct HP Part Number is 459263-001. The one you looked at is 459263-002, which has the LP PHY. One other criterion is the -001 is an 802.11abg unit, whereas the -002 is 802.11bg. The one in the listing below is the correct model. Unfortunately, it is in Malaysia and the shipping will be high. http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150358107902 If there is a problem finding one at a reasonable price, I would be willing to ship mine to you. I got the dump from a second error from my PCIe card. It hit the BUG_ON(!meta->skb) in b43_dma_handle_txstatus() (Line 1414 of drivers/net/wireless/b43/dma.c). In the first one I reported, meta->skb was not NULL, and it crashed during the unmap_descbuffer(ring, meta->dmaaddr, meta->skb->len, 1).
