Probable Linux driver presumably none brcmfmac (in backports) supports rev. 3 chips, which appear to be 43236B's non-B chips appear to be rev. 2 only and do not use the fullmac driver model USB ID first seen in kernel v3.4 (2012-05-20) (see also passys)
Windows driver try 5.100.68.46 (possibly 6.30.145.26) for XP note: 5GHz support disabled as it seems to be broken - replace BCM43XNGD with BCM43XNMD in .inf file for your device if you wish to test it or 5.100.68.46 for Vista/Win7 not working? let me know

• 300 Mbps - 2SS 5GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.),

• 300 Mbps - 2SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AN600 class

Overview

The Windows driver for this device has three device IDs specified...

• 0a5c:bd13 (default BCM4323 ID, probably)
• 0a5c:bd16 (appears to be 2.4GHz only)
• 0a5c:bd17 (default BCM43236 ID, probably)

Netcomm indicates this device is using BCM43236 in their datasheet, therefore, it is assumed it is using the default BCM43236 USB ID. The revision (BCM43236 / BCM43236B) is not known.
