bummer.... a little searching turned upwhich tells us tolspci -vnn | grep 14e404:07.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0100Base-TX [14e4:170c] (rev 02)and then to look for 14e4:170c in http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 and if you can find it it is supported.Ideas?:-)~MIKE~(-:On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 9:07 AM, Matt Graham <mhgraham@crow202.org> wrote:On 2014-10-22 23:38, Michael Havens wrote:

Hm. A little grepping through /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/ made me think that the right kernel module might be brcmfmac . At least, that module says it supports the BCM42325, BCM43236, and BCM43238 USB devices, and 43231 is not that far away from those numbers. After you modprobe that module, you should see some stuff about "brcmfmac: found wlan0 at blah" in the output from dmesg, and you should see another networking device when you do "ifconfig -a" if it was the right thing.
Or if that doesn't work, you could try the binary drivers from Broadcom. Your distro may have a package for those already; check that first. The Gentoo package is called broadcom-sta , so search your packages for that first. Homepage for binary drivers is http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php , but you really really should use your distro's package if one exists.
