Tom,

The brcmfmac driver (in staging) doesn't yet support the BCM4325.  As you
found, there are a variety of older driver sources available in other repos.
You can contact Howard Harte <hharte@broadcom.com> to see about a combination
of those sources and firmware that will support your platform in the near term.
