-------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The goal of this project is to develop a linux driver for Broadcom
|
|
|
|
|
BCM43xx chips, based on the specification at
|
|
|
|
|
http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/
|

You may want to configure your kernel with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS (optional):
|
|
|
|
|
-> Kernel hacking
|
|
|
|
|
-> Debug Filesystem
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) SoftMAC IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack extension and patched ieee80211
|
|
|
|
|
modules:

3) Firmware Files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please try fwcutter. Fwcutter can extract the firmware from various
|
|
|
|
|
binary driver files. It supports driver files from Windows, MacOS and
|
|
|
|
|
Linux. You can get fwcutter from http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/.
|
|
|
|
|
Also, fwcutter comes with a README file for further instructions.
