Everyone:
I have a three-year-old Dell Inspiron 1545. It came with the Dell
Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card.
The current output of lspci -k |grep -iA5 wire gives "Dell Wireless
1397
WLAN Mini-Card" as a subsystem. The relevant kernel module is "ssb."
$ lspci -k |grep -iA5
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try 'grep --help' for more information.
Currently this card will not connect. Nor can I force it to connect by
directly editing the network interface. I've tried several times,
but I
can't get to a MAC address for it.
What driver(s) or other kernel module(s) should I install, and
where can
I get them?
Broadcom has a 32-bit and a 64-bit tarball for what they say is a
driver
for this card. Should I install that on my system?
Please advise. It seems a shame to operate any laptop without wireless
connectivity.

The complete output of this command:
$ lspci -knn | grep -A100 Wireless
poma
The output, after a couple of module installations, now reads:
Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000c]
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: ssb, wl
Still no wireless connection available on that laptop.

Whence is "wl"?
OK, to get to Vendor&Device ID, hit this command:
$ lspci -knn | grep -A10 BCM4312
Output could look like this:
<bus>:<dev>.<func> Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation
BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000c]
Kernel driver in use: wl
Kernel modules: wl, ssb
"ssb" is a specific bus module, i.e. "Sonics Silicon Backplane driver"
Your "BCM4312" is attached to it.
BTW do you have the firmware installed?
poma
Earlier I installed the broadcom-wl and kmod-wl packages.
Output reads: 0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: broadcom Corporation
BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14d4:4315] (rev 01)
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: ssb, wl
In that order.
