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.
