What Michael (and Hauke, and Rafal) is talking about are BCM47xx SoC where AMBA/AXI is the System Bus, and there is no PCI(e) at all (except maybe for connecting a /second/ wifi). This was one of the main motivations of the bcma driver. Regards, Jonas P.S: Which reminds me, do you plan to (not) support the integrated wifi in the BCM6362? This one seems to be neither bcma nor ssb, but it's definitely Broadcom ;) (Haven't gotten my hands yet on a device though). -- 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
