i just got a new HP tx2520ej tablet laptop with a BCM4310 wlan
it is identified as Vendor : 03f0 , Product : 171d
any chance i can try a development version that might work ?

the numbers printed on the chip package are package IDs. These are
different from chip-ids sometimes. ;)
The only way to find out the chipid really is to load b43 and look
for the message saying "found Broadcom XXXX WLAN".
But still, having a chip with the same chipid and/or package ids doesn't
mean it's the same chip. :)

Maybe...
But on the miniPCIe chip itself, there is a sticker that says Broadcom
4312. But it's not a BCM4312 either, because BCM4312 actually works...

It is not a "BCM4315", it is a BCM4310. There is no such thing as a
BCM4315. Chip ID != PCI ID!
Most chip IDs match with their respective PCI IDs, but here are some exceptions:
0x4320 is BCM4306.
0x4315 is BCM4310.
0x4328 is BCM4321.
0x432b is BCM4322.

Maybe we should refine the list a bit then, as follows:
0x4320 is BCM4306
0x4311 is BCM4311BG (colloquially "BCM4311")
0x4312 is BCM4311ABG (colloquially "BCM4312")
0x4315 is BCM4312 (colloquially "BCM4310")
0x4318 can be both BCM4318 and BCM4318E
0x4328 is BCM4321 (colloquially "BCM4328")
0x432b is BCM4322
In that case, is "BCM4309" actually BCM4306ABG?
