 what is current LP PHY status?


Working in 2.6.32-rc1, though no calibration yet; so performance is
probably not on par with wl_hybrid or ndiswrapper.

 i will use it on bcm5354 (mips cpu + b43), so i cannot use ndiswrapper.

BCM5354 might need some extra fixes from wireless-testing - not sure
if they made into 2.6.32.

 I know nothing about wl_hybrid, it is close-source too?

It's semi-closed-source. (There is an open-source part that handles
the card as if it were a fullmac, while the actual code controlling
the HW is closed-source.)


 now i use 2.4 kernel on my dlink dir-320 (with binary drivers from broadcom).

 did you need help with testing on bcm5354?


Yes; it's still a WIP.

(BTW, please keep the CC to Broadcom-Wireless.)

It is only available for i386 and x86_64 architectures - not for MIPS.
