Mine is a different Broadcom card: 05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) but my kernel settings may help here: $ cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i b43 CONFIG_B43=m CONFIG_B43_PCI_AUTOSELECT=y CONFIG_B43_PCICORE_AUTOSELECT=y # CONFIG_B43_PCMCIA is not set # CONFIG_B43_SDIO is not set CONFIG_B43_PIO=y CONFIG_B43_PHY_LP=y CONFIG_B43_LEDS=y CONFIG_B43_HWRNG=y CONFIG_B43_DEBUG=y CONFIG_B43_FORCE_PIO=y # CONFIG_B43LEGACY is not set CONFIG_SSB_B43_PCI_BRIDGE=y I couldn't get it to show up until I selected the debug feature with the FORCE_PIO option.
