Galaxy S is using bcm4329, Galsxy S II is using 4330. Both are fullmac 
dongle.

Some laptop products are using Broadcom PCIE NIC(DELL, Macbook Air and 
so on). Do you have access to any laptop? We can try to figure out 
what's in there.

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap.git
drivers/net/wireless

Any scan request will be wrapped as an iovar and sent to the dongle. 
Scan results are sent back to the driver as a dongle event.

Hope this can help.
