It seems the pcidevs entry (providing the name) is wrong and device ID
0x4315 is really BCM4312. OS supporting this use a different driver (bwn
on FreeBSD, b43 on Linux) that work with a different firmware version
than used by bwi (b43legacy on Linux).

If you want to get into driver development then it maybe worth looking
at what would be needed to port bwn from FreeBSD, otherwise replace the
card (half size miniPCIe, try looking for intel 7260hmw) or use USB.
