(Or you could backport brcmfmac to the Android > version of the kernel, perhaps using compat-wireless). folks run debian from the sdcard [1], a mainline kernel shouldn't be too big of a stretch from there. Especially if the purpose is for testing wifi. Don't need PM, GSM, display, 3D, etc for that. Note, I haven't tried it yet, myself. It's been on the _long_ list of projects. It would be higher on the list if brcmfmac supported all the normal Linux features like monitor mode, AP mode, multiple-VAPs, etc. Or, at least, was in mainline and would accept patches adding such features... ;-) hth, Jason.
