The 5GHz wifi supports 450MBit/s so it is a BCM4331 with a HT-Phy and this is only supported by b43 with ieee80211g rates and in the 2.4 GHz band. This wifi will probably not work at all because it was not designed and programmed to be used in the 2.4GHz band. The 2.4GHz wifi of the BCM4718 should work with b43, brcmsmac or broadcom-wl.
