Broadcom support is difficult to determine because PCI ID isn't enough (quote debian wiki): 1st: You have a (radio) core revision (1 ... 29 ) broadcom-wl can contain different revisions and capabilities because of size contraints -> i don't know if it contains firmware for your core rev / chip (BCM4331) example: core rev 1 - (b43legacy) core rev 2 - (b43legacy) core rev 3 - (b43legacy) BCM4306 core rev 4 - (b43legacy) BCM4306 ---- core rev 5 - BCM4306 core rev 6 - b43 core rev 7 - b43 BCM4712 core rev 8 - b43 core rev 9 - b43 BCM5352E core rev 10 - b43 BCM4311 core rev 11 - b43 BCM4321 core rev 12 - BCM4321 ---- core rev 13 - b43 BCM5354 core rev 15 - b43 BCM4312 core rev 16 - b43 BCM4322 core rev 17 - BCM4716B0, BCM4718A1 core rev 22 - core rev 24 - BCM43236 core rev 26 - core rev 28 - BCM47186B0, BCM5357B0 core rev 29 - b43 , BCM4331 2nd: you have PHY chipsets : LCN ist broken , HT PHY isnt supported yet in free drivers 3rd: additionally to radio core rev trouble there are hardware revision issues BCM43236 v2 will not get brcmsmac/brcmfmac support from Broadcom Linux directly source: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg90881.html see wikidevi Link for potentially affected routers (Linksys E3200, Netgear WNDR3400v2) So it could take a while to figure out if it is indeed supported ... :/ Sources: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211 http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Broadcom http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Corerev_List
