AFAIK, broadcom only offers it's drivers for intel x86 and x64_86; I
guess by MIPS, you mean the architecture? (why wouldn't the intel

I read the WIP mail about the 227 chip, I could possibly wait for that
one to be released and test it out on mine?

For the record: the issue I'm having is as follows: when connecting
via the bluetooth part of the chip to my phone and using DUN to
connect to the internet, everything works fine until I shut down the
connection. Then my kernel panics. (Another issue of course is the
fact that wl is the only closed source thing in my kernel running atm
on my notebook...)

On brcmsmac: is linux-wireless the right mailinglist to post to then?
I see that the range of supported devices is more close to my chip
than b43 is ;)
I added brcm80211-dev-l...@broadcom.com to this mail too, which looks
like the more appropriate mailinglist to post the issue to.

PS. snippet of the output of 'lspci -nn':

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228
802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359]

Other information on request, will try to answer asap.

The MIPS drivers are part of the codes used in various SoC implementations used in wireless routers. Disassembling an x86 code stream is much harder than for a machine like MIPS where all instructions are the same size.
