Re: Broadcom brcm80211 monitor mode

Hi,

Is there any hope in the near future for a brcm80211 firmware which
supports monitor mode? If I got it right, it is either Broadcom who
could release such a firmware or someone else who has infinite free
time to reverse engineer the blob firmware, right? Is there any
initiative for that? Maybe some progress on it? I ask it because I'd
like to contribute to such a project if it already exists.

Cheers,

Robert
