[RFC] b43-utilities: ssb-vsprom: Add program to create on-disk, virtual SPROM

2010-03-20 Thread Larry Finger
Some of the new implementations of BCM43xx devices do not have a physical SPROM on the device. The necessary data for such a device could be embedded in the kernel; however, we have a need to supply a unique and reproducible MAC address. This patch implements a user-space utility that has an

[PATCH] ssb: Implement virtual SPROM on disk

2010-03-20 Thread Larry Finger
Some recent BCM43XX devices lack an on-board SPROM. The pertinent data from the SPROM could be included in the kernel; however, this presents a problem in the generation of a unique, reproducible MAC address. The solution has been to create a utility that generates a virtual SPROM image with a
