http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc-x86_64_5_10_18.ta=
r.gz

for the 64-bit version, and

http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc_5_10_18.tar.gz

for the 32-bit version. The binary blob is for x86 architecture only.=20
Other platforms are out of luck. They also have a README at

http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt

As noted earlier, the BCM4310 has a PCI ID of 0x4315. I have one of=20

BCM4312 (a/b/g) card, but it has an ID of 0x4312.

I've only had a quick look at their code, but I don't think it will be=20
much help for the RE project. Most of the interesting stuff seems to=20
be in the binary blob.
