Hi Arend, I watch the linux-sunxi list where we're trying to support a certain family of ARM chips and the boards they're on with open source, community maintained kernels. They're at the cheaper end of the spectrum so they usually end up with chipsets which are bought for their price point and Android compatibility, not their ease of use by people doing "generic" Linux.

So, the AMPAK AP6210 Wifi+BT combo device contains one of: 1. BCM43362 / BCM20710 2. BCM4330 / BCM40183 3. BCM4329 / BCM40181 Depending on who you talk to. I can only find one reference for options #1 and #3, so I suspect it's the BCM4330 based chipset, however I don't have one of these I can crack open so I'm not sure. Firstly, are there any plans to support the BCM43362 chipset with the brcmfmac driver in the near future? Secondly, is there an upstream driver for the bluetooth parts of these chipsets, and if so, do we need firmware and where can we get it from? If there isn't, are there any plans to add support for them?
