I've got 14e4:4312, and bcm43xx doesn't work (I'm actually using ndiswrapper).
I know I need to get the firmware:
apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
it asks if I want to fetch and extract the firmware: YES! Ok, everything's
in /lib/firmware now. Well:
$ sudo modprobe bcm43xx
$ ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:1a:73:a5

$
(yes, ndiswrapper sees it as wlan0, bcm43xx as eth1)
I believe that the reason is that bcm43xx doesn't correctly recognize the MAC
address:
bcm43xx -> 00:00:00:AA:BB:CC
ndiswrapper -> 00:AA:BB:CC:*:*
(masking the address ;) )
It seems like bcm43xx is "shifting" the MAC address of two bytes :s. Any idea?
Kindly,
David
