bcm43236 chipset
Good morning,
I have seen a couple of posts where reference was made to usb support in broadcom drivers, and that the code would also support additional chipsets (such as the bcm43236 but not the 43231) when quote "my testing here is complete" unquote.
As I have a Linksys AE2500 (13b1:003a) usb dongle, I am very interested in helping test this functionality no matter how reliable it is, or is not at this time. Using Fedora 16 x64, kernel 3.2.2-1 at this time. I believe I'd have to build my own kernel to enable bcma support but not positive about that yet.
If the driver is near a point where testing by others with certain hardware could be helpful and/or useful I'd be happy to test and provide any feedback.
Thanks,
Mark

That is my line ;-) I am indeed testing/tinkering on adding USB support to the brcmfmac driver with bcm43236 as chipset.

BCMA is only needed for the brcmsmac driver. So no need to enable it.

Thanks. I hope to submit the patch this week.
