Hi,

it is likely that the module used by your card is the b43 one, provided by
the kernel.
But this module requires also a firmware.
Anyway I think that the proprietary module wl supports also 4311 chipsets.
Did you installed some third-party drivers?
What return the following commands ?
  lsmod | egrep "b43|wl"
  rpm -qa \*kmod\* \*firmware
  lspci -k
