Only one problem: the license agreement of these drivers explicitly
forbids any reverse-engineering for any purpose. One can debate a lot
about whether these are enforceable - however, in the US, a similar
case (though that one was about resale, rather than
reverse-engineering) was recently decided in the plaintiff's favor.
And I believe Broadcom would indeed sue if they thought they were
risking their FCC approval by not doing so.
