Hello, Linux wireless people. On the b43 device list[1], you have support for the BCM4331 listed as "Soon (3.2+)". Does this mean "it will be in 3.2," "we will start working on it after 3.2," or something else?
Support for that chip will be in kernel 3.2. In fact, the code now in the wireless testing git tree handles that chip without any other changes (as of the August 30 update).
Also, just out of curiosity, what are you working on specifically with regards to the BCM4331? What still needs to be done before the BCM4331 can be used? (And does Broadcom have any plans to support it with the broadcom-sta driver?)
The object has been to make it work at all. It uses a new interface between the chip and the host, and is different than any device previously supported by b43. There will be additional improvements to improve the performance, and perhaps the stability.
None of us are qualified to speak regarding Broadcom's plans. Larry -- 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
