Broadcom Corporation BCM43224. Linux b43 does not support it. Not sure when such support will be added to driver. As workaround you may try http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
rpmfusion have this driver pre-compiled (works here for my BCM43224)
for the next person who ends up here trying to get this chip to work, the rpmfusion package to install is broadcom-wl.. the 'modprobe wl' and you should be off and running...
Just to add something that I consider interesting. Following is the content of file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules : SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:26:b9:eb:6e:3e", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" My BCM43224 is now recognized and works perfectly, although I have a dual boot system and it appears the BCM43224 is not recognized by FC13 after having rebooted from a Windows 7 session; it seems it is recognized perfectly only after a complete power cycle. Perhaps it's a firmware initialization problem?
