The Broadcom chips have struck again. I've tried the b43 and wl drivers with no luck whatsoever: according to my computer...it's in an alternate reality where Faraday cages are built into WiFi antennae... (or more likely, iwlist wlan0 scan yields "no scan results").
Here is a summary of my experiences with the b43 drivers.
And the wl drivers.
Looking at the wl driver dmesg log, it would appear that there is some kind of shenanigans going on with the chipset name. The wl driver reports trying to use a BCM4328, while as far as I am aware I have a BCM4321 (according to lspci), however the device id is 14e4:4328, so who knows what wl is trying to tell us.p
By the way, huge thanks to chili555 for his advice to other BCM4321 sufferers which has helped me understand what I'm doing in the first place, and thanks to Varunendra for his WiFi debugging script, so I don't have to spend hours copying and pasting various configuration details to code tags.
If anyone has WiFi working on this specific device under Ubuntu 14.10, please do share how :)
