Still shows no wifi network, just "disconnected" at NM.
But the driver is in: (lspci -vnn)
06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1508]
Physical Slot: 1
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at 92000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: wl
Kernel modules: wl, ssb
The problem is doesn't see the ESSID's, just "disconnected". Or simply just doesnt support this driver?

I want you to try something that is somewhat different.
I went over that document once more:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-lp
PCI table verification.
That's your chip and driver:
...
14e4:4315 supported 2.6.33 and later (PIO mode) BCM4312 b/g LP b43
...
You have the required kernel ?
[root@localhost jb]# uname -r
2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686Instead of following the info under Fedora, I checked Mandriva as well and
discovered some similarities to your chip:
...
device firmware installation
...
Mandriva
...
There are different versions of firmware and tools you may need:
...
b43 Linux-2.6.31 and newer, compat- 4.178.10.4 .... GO
wireless-2.6 package, current GIT trees -
for LP-PHY cards
...
When you press the GO link you get to:
...
You are using the b43 driver with an LP-PHY card (e.g. BCM4312)
...
Install b43-fwcutter, then use version 4.174.64.19 of Broadcom's proprietary
driver. (The tarball is mislabeled as "4.178.10.4", but it is actually
4.174.64.19.)
...
Let's do the down load and extraction operation:
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux
$ su
# b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ wl_apsta.o
The extraction worked for me !
Well, try it and reboot now.
Your dmesg should be more informative than the one you passed to us
previously.
