Hello,
this chip support disappeared from the new wl-.. extension.

Info-File from this new wl-.. extension of 4.2:
                Comments:       Broadcom's IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n hybrid Linux device driver for use..
                ..with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, and
                BCM4322-based hardware.

The last wl extension seems to have supported this chip (a success is announced here in this forum).

Which extension support this chip now?
I could not make it working (after loading the wl-.. and blacklisting bcma, ssb and b43; samsung nc10 plus netbook with chip 14e4:4727).

These packages contain Broadcom's IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n hybrid Linux® device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227- and BCM43228-based hardware.

so it seems it should work - did you have the appropriate firmware loaded?

Edit: info files updated
