BCM4331 Native Driver for Linux
This is an update to the
new Macbook post,
in which I said I had to use Ndiswrapper to drive the BCM4331 wireless
adapter.  Now there is a native solution
here.
The steps are explained in detail.  However I was not able to use
patched compat-wireless-2011-08-27.  In 2.6.39 (ck-patched) kernel,
it refused to detect any wireless network; in 3.0 kernel, it simply
wouldn't load.  Modprobe complained about unknown symbols.
Today I tried an updated version of compat-wireless, which was labeled
as 2011-09-27, and it worked in both kernels.  Note that the patches
mentioned in the link above are not needed anymore, and also that
since kernel.org has been down forever, I
downloaded the compat-wireless module from
here.  I
made some PKGBUILDs for the firmware of BCM4331 and compat-wireless
based on the PKGBUILD of
compat-wireless-patched.
Here they are~~
