Description: This is a wireless card used by alot of laptop manufactures. This is usually an internal wireless card. It is a mini pci network card. It will be incorrectly identified when using lshw or lspci as a BCM4328. The b43 driver will not work for the card so its necessary to use drivers directly from broadcom. They provide 32 and 64bit drivers that need to be compiled into a kernel module. You can find the driver on the following site http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
Keywords: BCM4321 Broadcom 4321
/sbin/lspci output: 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
Chipset: BCM4321
Connection Type: Wireless

I managed to get this card working using NDISWrapper and the guide I linked (now down :()

It is a guide for the BCM9431MCG but works perfectly with my card.

Speed is just as fast as on Windows and installation is not to hard if you can get the link to the guide below to work.
