Ok I got b43-cutter

A tool to extract firmware for a Broadcom 43xx device
from a proprietary Broadcom 43xx device driver file.

Usage: b43-fwcutter [OPTION] [proprietary-driver-file]
--unsupported Allow working on extractable but unsupported drivers
-l|--list List supported driver versions
-i|--identify Only identify the driver file (don't extract)
-w|--target-dir DIR Extract and write firmware to DIR

-h|--help Print this help

Example: b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta.o

the resulting firmware in /lib/firmware

NOW How do I use it to get drivers for Broadcom BCM4312 low power lpphy device??????????

I have done that. Did not work.

I solved all the 12.10 issues by going back to 12.04.

First time in 10 distros that I had to give up.
