Broadcom brcmfmac vs bcmdhd on Android

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

I know this is the Linux kernel wireless list, and not Android, but due to the lack of better places, I'm going to ask here...

I am trying to make IBSS mode work on Android. As I'm finding problems with "bcmdhd", I am wondering if using the "brcmfmac" under Android would be the better way to go?

I succeeded to compile brcmfmac from recent compat-drivers against the "tuna" (Galaxy Nexus) kernel, the modules load, but no device is recognized. Has anyone succeeded doing this? Is there any chance it can work?

Also I'm wondering what is the relation between the "bcmdhd" driver on Android and "brcmfmac" in the standard Linux kernel. Is there any official maintainer of "bcmdhd", any place where to submit patches? Will "bcmdhd" and "brcmfmac" merge eventually?

Thanks for any hints,
bruno
