Mar 01, 2011 It won't let me update using 3.1 because I can't install bootcamp 3.0. I've had to manually install the drivers from the Snow Leopard dvd but Win 7 x64 doesn't recognize the Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.131.36.1) that came with my MBP. Is there a special way to manually apply the 3.1 update, or to make it think 3.0 is installed? Jun 17, 2019 Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.131.36.1) win7 driver. If the version of the driver you are using bcn43xx the repository is the latest version available as per BroadcomBroadcom wants you to send them an email about this to linux-wlan-client-support-list broadcom. The b43, b43legacy, brcmsmac and wl drivers do not support any USB devices.

Identification
The PCI ID is not sufficient to determine the Broadcom chip within.
The relevant driver has built-in logic to probe the actual chip, for example:

Broadcom Bcm43xx 1.0 Firmware Update Download
Using Windows' binary drivers:
b43 and b43legacy
These drivers are included as modules in Debian kernel images. Firmware from userspace is required for device operation.
Firmware is not packaged by the Debian Project. It must be downloaded and extracted, which can be performed by the firmware-b43-installer, firmware-b43legacy-installer or firmware-b43-lpphy-installer packages during their installation. An Internet connection is required.
Troubleshooting
NDISwrapper
This should only be used as a last resort, if the device is not supported by Linux kernel drivers (e.g. Broadcom USB devices, other than the BCM4320).
Blacklist Linux kernel drivers
If loaded, the b43/b43legacy drivers will conflict with NDISwrapper. To unload and blacklist:
Installation
Kernel module and NDIS driver installation is described on the NDISwrapper page.
