The broadcom-sta package includes the kernel module 'wl', which contains
the Broadcom-provided proprietary kernel driver that supports a number of
their cards. Known supported model numbers include the listed chipsets.
BCM4311 (PCI IDs 14e4:4311, 14e4:4312, 14e4:4313)
BCM4312 (PCI ID 14e4:4315)
BCM4313 (PCI ID 14e4:4727)
BCM4321 (PCI IDs 14e4:4328, 14e4:4329, 14e4:432a)
BCM4322 (PCI IDs 14e4:432b, 14e4:432c, 14e4:432d)
BCM43142 (PCI ID 14e4:4365)
BCM43224 (PCI ID 14e4:4353)
BCM43225 (PCI ID 14e4:4357)
BCM43227 (PCI ID 14e4:4358)
BCM43228 (PCI ID 14e4:4359)
BCM4331 (PCI ID 14e4:4331)
BCM4360 (PCI ID 14e4:43a0)
BCM4352 (PCI ID 14e4:43b1)
Some of these devices are also supported by the free b43 and brcm80211
drivers. In order to avoid conflicts /etc/modprobe.d/b43_blacklist.conf
disables these drivers.
Read the included LICENSE.txt file (placed in /usr/doc) before using the
proprietary driver.
Kernel compile instructions (for BCM43142)
===========================
1) Ensure that all the wifi drivers (b43, Intel pro, etc) in
drivers>network>wireless are compiled as modules.
2) Either disable or compile the 'Broadcom specific AMBA' (drivers) as a
module. Otherwise this driver will be loaded by the wifi module instead
of the proper one.
