 Hi!

 What is the current development status for the BCM4322 chip? Is it working
 in the meantime?

 If not, I can also try to hack the b43 driver for supporting it, at least
 if I get the necessary informations.

It is completely unsupported - not even specs are available for it.
(The reverse-engineering team has set a requirement for working LP-PHY
code before they start working on N-PHY cards like 4322; and we have
only gotten LP-PHY to work a few weeks ago.)

If I remember correctly, the 4322 has an N PHY. If that is so, the
reverse engineering for N PHYs is not complete. Until that is done,
there can be no hacking of the driver. I'm working on the RE now, but
as you can imagine, one can only work a few hours of the day when
decompiling MIPS binary code.
