No. The problem is seen above - an unsupported PHY revision. The reverse engineers have not worked out the details required to support PHY revision greater than 8. The only slight possibility of using it in the near future would be to grab the source from the wireless-dev git tree and try the b43 driver, which uses V4 firmware; however, even with that version, the code will have to be modified. As even Broadcom is having problems with this version in Vista, the prognosis isn't too good. You should investigate the possibility of acquiring a BCM4311/1 PCIe card to replace the BCM4311/2.
