Hi Julian

I'm running a BCM43228 chip -- not so different from yours -- in an HP  
ProBook 6570b.  NDIS is the only option and it does mostly work, if you  
can tolerate unexpected restarts.  I can usually get a few hours work in  
before it goes wrong.  Disappointing but there apparently just isn't  
anybody available to work on support for these chips at the moment so we  
have to live with it!

Regards
Allen Versfeld
