Unofficially, my opinion is as follows:

1. Your looking at the current driver does not taint you regarding Broadcom's 
intellectual property.

2. Once you have worked on the decompiled Broadcom drivers, you cannot 
contribute code to our 
driver. That would breach the clean-room isolation. You are still allowed to 
test and to report 
deficiencies, but not suggest fixes.

I have no knowledge of the status of the RE of the 802.11n devices. There is 
some info regarding 
these devices in the V4 specs, but AFAIK, none of these have been coded. We've 
been busy getting 
802.11g code working.
