+Thanks. that shows the subvendor/device ids.
+The 4312 ones are problematic iirc...
+
+Now for some tests...
+
+1. uninstall any *broadcom-wl* package on the system.
+2. disable nonfree medias (to prevent drakx access to them)
+3. reboot.
+4. try to reconfigure your wireless connection and see if it works.
+
+5. if it does not work, enable nonfree media again
+6. install dkms-broadcom-wl
+7. reboot
+8. try to reconfigure wireless again and see if it works now.
