FWIW, the Broadcom wireless devices certainly don't use an ARM core but according to the reverse engineering team some kind of Broadcom specific CPU core. I don't know about the Intel wireless devices. And yes, a device needs RAM to dowload the firmware to.
And firmware won't make any sense if the device doesn't have some kind of a processing core, right? Dan. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
