Adam,

according to
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211#Broadcom_brcmsmac_driver
the brcmsmac driver does not support the B4331 chip (not to be confused
with the B4313). I tried to unload wl and loaded the brcmsmac. The card
does not get detected. So using the brcmsmac driver is not an option.

Scratch that "standard wl driver". Before using Ubuntu I was using
ArchLinux and they shipped the wl driver too. Apparently that was the
same as the current one but only an earlier version, which did not
support this chip yet. Because of that I got confused and thought there
would be a in-tree wl driver and additionally, this patched version in
form of the bcmwl-kerner-source package.

So bottomline, bcmwl-kernel-source version 6.20 is the only driver that
makes my card usable. b43 is really slow and unstable, brcmsmac does not
support the card at all.
