Mine's a BCM 4311, it works out of the box, do you have anyway to change it to BCM4311?
yes mate, I guess the old dells got the bcm 4311... i got 4311, no problems with wifi, it is identified as "airport"..
if you have a way to change to BCM 4311, i suggest it, i don't have any experience with BCM 4312 so i can't tell what causes it not to work...
swap the BCM4312 card with a BCM4311 card. in that case no need to flashing and destroy you 4312 wifi. There are used wifi card from dell that were BCM 4311...
hth. happy hacking…
