Hi Peter,
I'm taking the liberty of copying this back to the list because the
answer may interest some there too.
I tried this on my laptop and got this result :-
$ lspci -n | grep 14e4
00:0a.0 0280: 14e4:4320 (rev 03)
00:0c.0 0200: 14e4:169c (rev 03)
$
14e4 is Broadcom's id
/sbin/lspci -nnv | grep 14e4
02:01.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme
BCM5788 Gigabit Ethernet [14e4:169c] (rev 03)
02:02.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318
[AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02)
So your results show a similar output, except 4320 not 4318, so that is
the wireless pci card and the other is the rj45 ethernet port.
Forgot to say a USB device would be seen using
lsusb
Ubuntu should automatically work with these devices but if not you could
try the manual method :-
