OK - the chipset, which is the important bit, is BCM4312 revision 01. If you
put
linux BCM4312
into google or any other search engine you will find lots of answers. At a
quick look it seems to be saying that there is not a built-in driver for this,
and you may need to use ndiswrapper with the windows driver. I did see more
than one site with explanations of how to do this. (Of course as newer
kernels are released this may change, and may have already changed.)
I suggest that you look through the list that the search returns for an entry
in your own language that gives a good explanation. If you can't see one,
find a promising one in another language then try google-translate - it won't
give a perect translation but usually it's good enough to understand.
Depending on whether you want to be perfectly open source politically correct or
just have a working system with no illegal software, you could try the kmod-wl
driver from rpmfusion. Works for me, I'm happy to say, and I didn't have to buy
new hardware.
