No problem ^^
I was first surprised that there was no Broadcom device in your first lspci output, but now it's OK.
The native kernel driver b43 is the one used by your card. But as I said before, it needs firmwares. Did you installed these firmwares manually (using b43-fwcutter for example)?
There is a set of free/open source firmwares for Broadcom (package b43-openfwwf) but there aren't supported by 4311 (rev 2) devices according to their page.
What returns this command?
$ rpm -qf /lib/firmware/b43/*
