Anyway, we are talking about chip revisions. It has nothing to do with linux kernel versions. However, if you want to use it on an ancient 2.6.22 kernel you better use the backports that Hauke referred to. Unfortunately for BRCMFMAC it only goes back to 2.6.29. Maybe in general backports only goes back till 2.6.24 (not sure). If you get the driver working it will spill out in the kernel log whether your bcm43236 has a good *chip* revision, ie. chiprev >= 3.
