OK - the chipset, which is the important bit, is BCM4312 revision 01.  If you 
put 

linux  BCM4312 

into google or any other search engine you will find lots of answers.  At a 
quick look it seems to be saying that there is not a built-in driver for this, 
and you may need to use ndiswrapper with the windows driver.  I did see more 
than one site with explanations of how to do this.  (Of course as newer 
kernels are released this may change, and may have already changed.)

I suggest that you look through the list that the search returns for an entry 
in your own language that gives a good explanation.  If you can't see one, 
find a promising one in another language  then try google-translate - it won't 
give a perect translation but usually it's good enough to understand.
