It turns out that it's better to extend the device support in bcm4301 due to more difficulties in reverse engineering the newer bcm drivers. Newer drivers don't contain support for wireless core ref < 5 anymore. So I suggest we support <5 devices with the legacy driver using v3 firmware. And anything above with v4 firmware with upstream bcm43xx-mac80211. That's actually a nice cutoff point, as rev 5 is when they started using the new microcode format.
So, that said, I want to rename all the drivers. My plan was to rename "bcm43xx-mac80211" to "b43", so you could probably rename bcm4301 to b43-legacy or something shorter like b43-leg or maybe even b43-old. Any comments? -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
