Hi Broadcom fellows! It's great that afters long years of... well, pretty horrible relations with Linux/opensource you have taken actions to change your image. I guess brcm80211 it's perfect yet, and people may like it more or less, but it's no doubt you made step in the right direction. Thanks for that! As you should know, you released driver and firmware for 802.11n devices only. I believe it was right, as these device seem to be the most nowadays and were the only ones without any open source support. For older devices: G-PHY and LP-PHY we have working b43 driver that is in relatively good shape. However... there is one thing we still miss for olders cards. Every time someone wants to use b43 it's necessary to download quite big package from openwrt, unpack it, extract firmware and install it. That simply happens because we don't have just-firmware files with nice licensing. And of course there goes my request: *Can you submit G-PHY and LP-PHY firmware to linux-firmware using some normal licensing, please?* This is of course not the best I could wish for, but is important anyway and it should be easy decision. Ideally you could release sources of firmware (plus toolchain eventualy... however, we have nice toolchain from Michael), but I guess it would need more time and decisions to make it happen. So as for now I guess we would be happy with just closed source but easy-distributable firmware. Could you release, submit it? -- RafaÅ -- 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
