Short story is that there are two drivers for Broadcom chipsets: b43 which has
been about for years [originally] based on reverse-engineering, and brcmsmac
which is Broadcom's eventual attempt at an open source driver. The former is
usually the preferred solution, but unfortunately doesn't support your
chipset.

I note from previous posts and my own searching that this has been
going on a while. I can confirm that up to now it is not sorted by
any of the available drivers. But I haven't quite given up yet.<br>

Thanks for all the pointers.<br>
