I'd like AP mode for my BCM4313, so I was digging through the list
archives trying to figure out the current situation. As far as I can
tell, b43 still doesn't support the BCM4313 [1], so Hauke's brcmsmac
adjustments seem like my best option. An older post says they're in
wireless-testing [2], but I don't see them grepping though the logs:
$ git log --oneline -S NL80211_IFTYPE_AP wireless-testing/master \
-- drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/
1525662 brcm80211: smac: changed check to confirm STA only support
5b435de net: wireless: add brcm80211 drivers
Can someone point me to the code Hauke was referencing?
I'd also be interested in the b43 support for the BCM4313, but
$ git log -S 4727 wireless-testing/master -- drivers/net/wireless/b43/
turns up no commits at all.
My only kernel experience is with some limited Comedi patches, so
apologies if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Thanks,
Trevor
