broadcom 43236B USB module

Hello,

I have some Wifi USB modules with 43236B Broadcom chipset. I have read on the linuxwireless dot org website that this chipset is supported by the brcmfmac *(USB)* driver.

As I am also trying to backport this driver for an embedded device which runs a 2.6.27 kernel, I had a look to the 3.2 kernel sources and especially to the drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac directory. But I do not find any reference to USB stack kernel functions.

How may this work?

It works by being patient. USB support was merged upstream in the previous merge window so it is present in the current 3.4-rcX releases. If you want to backport I suggest to use compat-wireless (see [1]) as it does a lot of work for you.
