Is there a change to get the Broadcom Wireless BCM43228 card working? At 
the BWNWiki the BCM4322 chip is supported. Look in then Linux b43 
documentation 
http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/en/users/Drivers/b43/ the card has 
the same PHY. So I have tried to build the Kernel with the BWN_GPL_PHY 
option and add the device id 0x4359 to the siba_bwn.c File as “Broadcom 
BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless”. But as result I have got:


siba_bwn0: <Broadcom BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless> mem 
0xf0200000-0xf0203fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2

siba_bwn0: unknown PCI did (17241)

siba_bwn0: unknown the chipset ID 0

siba_bwn0: unsupported coreid (unknown)

siba_bwn0: warn: bad SPROM CRC

siba_bwn0: unknown SPROM revision 0.

device_attach: siba_bwn0 attach returned 92

pci0:2:0:0: Device leaked memory resources


Is the code ready and I miss something or is the N(16) PHY still 
unsupported? Thank you for some hints.
