Looking for BCM43228

[Rafał Miłecki]

I'm looking for 14e4:4359 card which is BCM43228 chipset based.

According to Ubuntu [0] it can be found in Dell's notebooks:
1) Dell Latitude E5420m
2) Dell Latitude E5520m
3) Dell Latitude E6220

Ubuntu user Marc Legris provided a prove this card is really used by
Dell. See any of his launchpad reports for lspci [1] [2] [3].

I've search on ebay and polish similar site, no results so far. Ofc
I'm not interested in buying the whole laptop just for WiFi card. I'll
be contacting Dell in next days to see if they can offer me a card.

However, maybe someone of you have seen this card somewhere else, or
have someone witch this notebook?

P.S.
Ofc I've checked this site, but they are offering only modems for
E6220 and nothing at all for E5420/E5520. I've been searching in
Shop for Home & Home Office › Accessories › Parts & Upgrades › Parts & Upgrades

I just sent a query to the vendor offering refurbished BCM943224 cards telling 
them that I already have that card, but that I want 2 BCM43228 cards for Linux 
driver development. I'll let you know what happens. BTW, one of them would be 
for you.

I've chatted with Dell employee and have received list of parts they
have for E5520m and E6220. Some of them are not wifi cards at all,
some are Intel's one.

Cards that may be interesting to look at: DW1530, DW1501.

The DW1501 is an 802.11b/g/n card. From what I saw about the BCM43228, it is an 
802.11a/b/g/n model.

The site http://tinyurl.com/3mh8kk9 says that the DW1530 has 5 GHz capability. 
It is probably what you want, but Ebay doesn't have any.

DW1501 is 14e4:4727 (BCM4313). DW1530 on the other hand sounds
promising. Not possible to google it connection with "14e4", must be
sth new.

I'll mail Marc, Ubuntu's launchpad reported to ask if he still has
access to this notebook.

I've just received photo of the card (inside notebook) from Marc. It's
labeled as DW1530, bingo! :)

I'll ask Dell about prices. Larry: I'm also waiting for you getting
response, maybe your prices will be lower?

225 zł at Polish Dell. It's 54,109136 euro according to Google. Not
cheap :| At least price includes shipping (to the Poland).

I have not had a reply yet on my inquiry. An Ebay message might take 2 days. I 
also sent a query to a local computer outfit that I deal with.

A cost of 54 euro does seem a bit pricy.

I got no answer from that first vendor. I just sent another message to a 
different vendor. I found the device on a parts list for some government 
organization in Ohio that listed the Dell Part Number (430-3960) and a price of 
12.15 USD. Too bad I couldn't purchase there.

It seems Dell can be the only choice for us. I've asked Marc for
checking details of that card. I asked him to try bcma&b43 or get MMIO
dump with wl. That will make us sure what's PHY hidden inside of that
card.

I've already bought once a card (BCM43225) in hope it'll contain PHY
different that card I already have (BCM43224). That cards seem to have
exactly the same PHY.

By the way, there is some money in the b43 fund at
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/donations

I hope it can be used to compensate the expenses.

It certainly should cover Rafał's expenses. Anyone know who is controlling that

Stefano Brivio is. However, he seems to have disappeared for quite some time.
I think he even unsubscribed from the list several months ago.

This is the Dell DW1530 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card.

It looks like it should work with the latest wl driver and/or
ndiswrapper-1.58rc1, in my Dell E6220, but it doesn't...
