Hi,

Here my test for bcm4213

vostro at vostro:~$ lspci -n | grep 14e4
06:00.0 0280: 14e4:4315 (rev 01)

vostro at vostro:~$ uname -a
Linux vostro 2.6.35-rc3-wl+ #1 SMP Sat Jul 3 20:37:05 EDT 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

On top ubuntu 10.04

After booting error happen and I fallow instruction, see DMESG-WIRELESS

didn't work with sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter // it was downloading
on 12 that was failling... didn't investigate more..

wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-013.tar.bz2
tar xjvf b43-fwcutter-013.tar.bz2
cd b43-fwcutter-013/
make
cd ..

export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
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/
sudo ../b43-fwcutter-013/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o

see DMESG file attach for log.

next step try it with last 2.6.35-rc4 or later...

Should I check in linux-next tree for lastest stuff related to bcm4213
or it have been merge already in mainline?

NOTE: After starting my computer in hibernate mode the NetworkManager
Applet was not showing wireless network... I try to modprobe -r b43
and modprobe b43 but nothing happen. log didn't show much so I reboot
and it works...
