I have a laptop Acer Aspire One D250 running 9-CURRENT r214444
(from October 2010).  The laptop comes with as Wifi chip:

none2@pci0:1:0:0:       class=0x028000 card=0xe01b105b chip=0x431514e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device     = 'BCM4310 USB Controller'
    class      = network

I have to use NDIS to make it working and it seems that the 4310 does
not show up in their page.
