Hi all, I would like to test some custom powersaving algorithms for 802.11abg WLANs on some current android smartphone (e.g., nexus one). My question is regarding the brcmfmac driver implementation for BCM4329 chipsets:
Android drive is a little different from brcmfmac. We do have plan to add android support on a fullmac based code. But it's not going to happen in short time. I would suggest you could start with the android driver to save the time of porting fullmac to Android.
* The current open source implementation of the driver, brcmfmac, does ONLY support 11n PHY?
No. 11g is supported as well.
* Does this driver interfaces the mac80211 operations or "acts as" a mac80211 driver itself talking to cfg80211/nl80211?
We implement the callback and talk to cfg80211 directly.
* Does the chipset/current implementation support sleep/awake triggers? (or at least quiet elements?)
I don't think there is any interface available to bypass the firmware and control the RF directly.
Hope this can help. Regards, Franky -- 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
