It's not a Broadcom card. Note the PCI ID, Atheros. It's not supported well by current MadWifi and OpenSolaris Atheros drivers, namely plumb issues and inability to associate. If this is a 3rd rev MBP with NVIDIA graphics it has an Atheros with draft N, I believe 5214 series. A 2nd rev has Atheros 5008 with optional draft-n through firmware distributed with AirPort Extreme Base stations or as a $2 purchase due to some loophole by the FCC requiring charge for enabling it. Broadcoms are only in iMacs and PowerPC iBooks/Powerbooks. I replaced my 1st rev MBP which had ATI x1600 and Atheros 5006 (Not pre- n) in June with the 3rd rev with Santa Rosa C2D and I have some experience with Linux on one.
