The BCM4312 is somewhat of a problem as there are two completely different
devices that use that identification. You need to look at the PCI ID to tell if
it is supported. Use the command 'lspci -n'and look for a line that has
"14e5:43XX" in it. If XX is 15, it is not supported. The fact that you have to
load the b43 module manually suggests that it is not supported. The other thing
to do is the command 'dmesg | grep b43'.
