Hello,

I'm working on b43 and N-PHY devices support with some first successes
and I have request to you, broadcom-wl related.

As you know, we need to extract firmware from wl to have card working
with b43 driver. The problem is that firmware for all N-PHY devices is
available in huge wrt610n_v2.00.00.05_us.tgz only. I wanted to ask you
for hosting just broadcon's wl driver on your site.

Could someone download this huge tgz, extract it, get just
wrt610n_v2.00.00.05_us/release/src/wl and put it as simple
broadcom-wl-5.10.56.51.tar.bz2 on
http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/ ? I think adding simple "README"
linking to the source of extracted driver would be nice.

Exactly the same action was taken on wrt610n_v1.00.00.018_us.tgz,
that's the way how broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 was created.

With such a package we could just tell users to download
broadcom-wl-5.10.56.51.tar.bz2 and extract firmware from it. Currently
everyone wanting to use core 16 device needs to download that huge
WRT610N firmware.
