Overview

The driver available from Linksys also works with BCM4323 dongles and is probably the latest such driver available from Broadcom.

Appears to be manufactured by Wistron NeWeb. DNUB-C1 is the model mentioned on the sample label provided to the FCC.

"48DNUB0E.SGA" and "Manufactured for CISCO" are silkscreened on the board.

This device cannot be used with brcmfmac as the chip revision (r2) is unsupported.
