don't think it's going to work well.  But to be fair to them, at least
they don't pretend that Linux doesn't exit.

And that's quite an achievement...
Anyway, what are the actual, working download links? The ones on the
site just 404 out for me.

http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc-x86_64_5_10_18.tar.gz

for the 64-bit version, and

http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc_5_10_18.tar.gz

for the 32-bit version. The binary blob is for x86 architecture only. Other platforms are out of luck. They also have a README at

http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt

As noted earlier, the BCM4310 has a PCI ID of 0x4315. I have one of those cards and could test their blob pile. ATM, I'm using b43 on a BCM4312 (a/b/g) card, but it has an ID of 0x4312.

I've only had a quick look at their code, but I don't think it will be much help for the RE project. Most of the interesting stuff seems to be in the binary blob.
