Hi All, I would like to know if I can use open80211s with the BCM4329 chipset? From the research I've done, the BCM4329 is a FullMAC device, not a SoftMAC device. The open-source linux driver that can work with the BCM4329 chipset is the brcmfmac. Therefore, it does not use the mac80211 framework. The brcmfmac driver is integrated with cfg80211. Since open80211s is based off the mac80211 stack, does this mean open80211s can never be used with brcmfmac? Is it possible to interface the open80211s code directly with cfg80211? Would the cfg80211 api provide all the necessary callbacks in order to acheive mesh functionality? If this is possible, does anyone have an idea of how much time this effort would require? Additionally, looking at the documentation on the b43 driver, the website (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43) says that all BCM43xx are supported by the b43 driver. The b43 driver does support open80211s, so I am confused as to whether I can use this driver for the BCM4329 device, although the device list doesnt have BCM4329? Are there any other options for getting 802.11s support with the BCM4329 chipset?
