Yes, I believe that could be right, *a* world regulatory domain looks indeed enforced, the USA one only, which is pre-set default inside EEPROM registries device, isn't it? > I know, but that driver is not fully open-source as it links in a binary > blob. AFAIK, also brcmsmac needs at least 2 firmware files to operate, without those nothing works. Isn't it the same concept? > I totally lost track of this one.

If that was a suggestion about to purchase a bcm43224 or any other Broadcom Corp. product, isn't really convincing, seen the overall support quality Customers are experiencing in here... About my capture file, in the case it was really incomplete someone could have informed me at least a year ago. But anyway no respectable QA Testing team needs a purchasing Customer to help in verifying such enormous issue, isn't it? > Our team consist of two man working full-time on the upstream linux > drivers.

Is that how much Broadcom Corp. values the Linux community? Needles to remind, even if Linux users don't pay for the OS license as Windows do, they do pay allright for any Broadcom hardware they purchase! Internet startups which sell a button on internet, they have Dev and QA team 5 times bigger than that! I sense a very gross capacity and resource planning competence issue in here. I kindly ask you, please forward that mail to your higher Managers, on my personal behalf, Thanks. -- http://www.fastmail.com - Same, same, but different... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
