Oops, i've done a typo. It's E4300, not D4300. Yes, we have the same
laptop.

lspci info (for clarification):
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)

and lspci -v:
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at f69fc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]

I only installed b43-firmware package from aur, with latest vanilla
kernel.
