Dear developers,
Perhaps this is not a bug because my card is not probed. I have a
Broadcom 43227 and the wireless does not work at all. I need your driver
to activate it as a AP, but as far as I know, is imposible at this
moment. Then I will use Broadcom driver waiting to your next
developments. I say you because I think that developers need some
feedback, for free software development.
As you guessed, it is not a bug as support for that device has never been
enabled. I think your device will use bcma just as my BCM43228 does. I have
started developing the patches needed to implement it with b43; however, I have
not gotten very far. Could you please confirm that the the PCI ID is 14e4:4358?
If that is correct, could you also try the attached patch and report the info
that is logged in the dmesg output?
I think that Broadcom will be changing brcmsmac to support these devices, but my
understanding is that they are concentrating on fullmac devices at the moment.
