Under linux, I vaguely recall seeing some dmesg spew from the b43 driver
upon loading that it had found an unknown BCM432x chip... Can't recall
if it said anything more specific... Under Mac OS X, I'd look at its
dmesg output, and see if there's anything more telling to be had there.
Otherwise, the only sure-fire way I know of is to crack open the case
and look at the card itself (which is the only way I know absolutely for
sure right now that the card I put into my mini from the dell is a
BCM4321).
