Maybe this will help you. Not sure about the liberty of the instructions though: Known PCI devices Whether a PCI device is supported by the b43/b43legacy driver can be found out with the lspci command: lspci -vnn | grep 14e4 The command will result in a string similiar to this example: 0001:01:01.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02) You should ignore anything, except the last part inside of the [ ] brackets. In the table below you can check whether your device is supported. *PCI-ID* *State* *Chip* *Modes* *PHY version* *Driver* 14e4:4301 supported BCM4301? ? ? b43legacy 14e4:4306 supported BCM4306 ? ? b43legacy? 14e4:4307 supported BCM4306 ? ? b43 14e4:4311 supported BCM4311 ? ? b43 14e4:4312 supported (802.11g only) BCM4312 a/b/g ? b43 14e4:4312 not supported - ID is duplicated BCM4312 b/g ? b43 14e4:4315 supported 2.6.32 and later BCM4312 b/g LP b43 14e4:4318 supported BCM4318 ? ? b43 14e4:4319 supported BCM4311? ? ? b43 14e4:4320 supported BCM4306 ? ? b43 14e4:4321 not supported ? ? ? b43 14e4:4324 not supported? ? ? ? b43 14e4:4325 not supported ? ? ? b43 14e4:4328 not supported BCM4321 ? N b43 14e4:4329 not supported BCM4321 ? N b43 14e4:432b not supported BCM4322 ? N b43 Note that the PCI-ID is _not_ in direct correlation with the Chip-ID. The Chip-ID is printed to the kernel log by the b43 driver on startup (example): b43-phy0: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found Often the PCI-ID equals the Chip-ID, but that's not always the case and it's a constant source of confusion. Supported chip types - bcm4303 (802.11b-only chips, uses b43legacy) - bcm4306 (Rev. 2 uses b43legacy, Rev. 3 uses b43) - bcm4309 (only the 2.4GHz part) - bcm4311 rev 1 / bcm4312 - bcm4311 rev 2 / bcm4312 (needs patches for 2.6.24) - bcm4312 with a/b/g (only the 2.4GHz part and no low-power LP-PHY devices) - bcm4318 Supported in wireless-testing/compat-wireless-2.6 - BCM4312 802.11b/g, AKA BCM 4310 USB - This device has an LP PHY. Work on this device has begun, and the device now works in wireless-testing (and will be supported in 2.6.32), but performance is sub-par, due to the lack of calibration support. Note: This card uses the PCI-E bus, despite its name. - BCM4313 802.11b/g - This device also has an LP PHY. The same probably applies to other LP-PHY devices. unsupported chips - The 802.11a part of the 4309 and 4312 is not supported. - BCM 4322 802.11a/b/g/n (Has PCI-ID 0x432B) - This device has an N Phy. There is no support for any Draft 802.11n features. We are working on it. - BCM 4321 (Has PCI-IDs 0x4328 and 0x4329) - These devices have N Phys. There is no support for any Draft 802.11n features. We are working on it.
