The kernel's b43 driver is fine for the 4311 chipset - you only need wl for newer chipsets that are not supported by b43.

For more info, read the Wireless Setup and Broadcom BCM4312 wiki pages.

Thanks for your help, having many drivers options is sometimes a mess to choose one !!!

I will stick with the one that I use now as you recommand ...
