Model: "Broadcom BCM4312 802.11a/b/g"

A lot of water under the bridge since the ancient times of 10.2 :-)

Your card should be supported by the reverse engineered native b43 driver:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#supported

All you should have to do, is run, as root:
'install_bcm43xx_firmware'

To install the proprietary Broadcom firmware. Maybe you also need to modprobe
b43 or reboot.

PS: If you sense some animosity against Broadcom.. well, I own one of their
chips. Fortunately that box has been shelved recently.

PPS: You realize that 11.1 is just 1½ months away?
