Probable Linux driver should work with Broadcom's latest wl driver 6.30.223.126 is now available on Broadcom's site 6.30.223.30 is available in... Alberto Milone's Broadcom testing PPA or the broadcom-wl packages (w/ dkms or w/ no dkms) in the Arch AUR PCI ID not yet observed in any mainline kernel / this list (note: outdated) (see also passys)
Windows driver these might work, maybe Broadcom BCM43XX Driver Win7/8/10
