depends on chip revision
brcmfmac (in compat-drivers) supports r3 chips

(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

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.
