So at one end the spectrum there is mac80211-type drivers and at the other side are fullmac drivers like brcmfmac. rev 2 driver sits right in the middle of that with part of the 802.11 stack running on the host and part on the device. This device has not enough memory to run the fullmac firmware. Gr.
