According to these messages, your card likely has an LP PHY: http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2008-June/004219.html http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2008-June/004221.html Recently, there's been a lot of work on the LP PHY, and at least some cards have at least some support. I don't know about yours - I'd ask on the b43 list (new home at infradead), if you care enough.
