Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

Hi

The above adapter is installed in my ACER Extensa 5220, googling around I 
found various references to this chip, the main resume seems to be "works 
only with ndiswrapper." Is it true and if it is ATM, is it going to 
change?:-) Any work in progress or plans to support it natively? lspci -vv 
output is at http://home.arcor.de/g.liakhovetski/extensa5220/.

Tried brutally adding the PCI ID to the ssb driver and ssb ID to the b43 
driver. Here's the result:

ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:04:00.0 disabled
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17

This card (BCM4310/4312) is a new low-power (LP-PHY) card, which is
not yet supported. Work on this card is ongoing, but no official
timeframe exists. (Hopefully it will make 2.6.28 or .29.)

No way. There's no published specs and no code.
