It's hard to say what you're replying to. bcmdhd is also open source (not sure what license), just not mainline. > Either way, I am now running > > insmod brcmutil.ko > insmod brcmfmac.ko > > I receive no errors and no kernel messages. > > When I insert the 43341 module into the SDIO slot nothing happens.
