I think bcm4329 is the oldest Broadcom chip supported on Android.

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common.git

it's under drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329(for prior ICS os version and
only for 4329) and drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd (for 4329/4330 on ICS)

Regards,

4312 is different from 4329/4330. I don't think you can use any help
from the current host driver in Android kernel.

I suspect it is still supported, but u may want to re-enable the configuration and recompile the kernel.

See this file:

drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/main.c

Within it does detect for 4312 chipset:

        /* Check if this device supports multiband. */
        if (!pdev ||
            (pdev->device != 0x4312 &&
             pdev->device != 0x4319 &&
             pdev->device != 0x4324)) {
                /* No multiband support. */

is this driver for PCMCIA interface? I have a SDIO adapter, do you
think I can adapt to my interface?
