Hi Arnd,
Here's the latest update to the brcmsmac regulatory rework that I've
been working on. I've broken it up into a series of smaller patches,
cleaned things up, and finished what changes I can with the information
available to me.
I've attempted to maintain the same high-level behavior that the
brcmsmac internal regulatory support currently enforces. I find a couple
of these to be questionable however, those being: the setting of the
radio disable state based on whether or not there are any channels
allowed by regulatory, and the handling of enabling/disabling OFDM.
Perhaps you can comment on whether or not these actions are needed.
All use of the internal regulatory data has been eliminated except for
the use of the MIMO power limits for filling out the txpwr_limits data.
I'm anticipating that you'll provide information on how this needs to be
handled. Otherwise I think these patches are very nearly complete, so
please let me know if you see anything that needs to be changed.
So far these changes are testing well on a MacBook Air 4,1 with BCM43224
wireless. I'm now able to see and associate with my AP on channel 52,
which was not possible previously.
Cheers,
Seth
