Hello all,
I currently work for a company that is using OpenWRT, with linux 2.4, on
a BCM5354. We really want to move to OpenWRT with linux 2.6 using the
b43 driver on this chip. Initial test results show that b43 seems to
work in client / Adhoc mode, but not in AP mode. Unfortunately, I have
been unable to ascertain the status of the b43 driver with respect to
this chip.
Can anyone confirm whether it's fully functional under this platform? If
not, what's left to be done ?
I believe the BCM5354 has an LP PHY. As such, it should be supported by
any 2.6.32, or later, kernel. AFAIK, no such device has been tested by a
developer. My tests with a BCM4312, which also has an LP PHY, show that
b43/mac80211 will function as an AP using recent versions of hostapd.
OpenWRT uses compat-wireless, so it should actually work out of the box
with current OpenWRT SVN trunk.
I didn't try that yet, however.
It is possible that the PHY has a special revision which is not fully
implemented in the driver, yet.
