I'll search broadcom site more for this though.
I don't think Broadcom sells anything complete devices directly, but Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, etc. use Broadcom chips inside. Broadcom has reference designs, with Linux code ready for customization, and the retail vendors brand it, tweak some features if they want, box it up, and sell it. Broadcom makes lots of chips used in a wide variety of consumer electronics devices, including network gear (such as routers, APs, switches), DVRs, Blu-Ray players, and TVs. -- Chris Adams <c...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list b43-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
