The laptop I have is the L2000 Lance Armstrong edition. I used the wiki you posted as a template. The broadcom I have is the 4308 where thiers is a 4306. The drivers they have never detected hardware. I did find another driver that detected the hardware, but the wiki on it said they never could get the hardware to connect to a wireless network with it.
