README

Broadcom brcmsmac (mac80211-based softmac PCIe) and brcmfmac (SDIO) drivers.

Completely open source host drivers, no binary object files.

Support for the following chips:
===============================

    brcmsmac (PCIe)
    Name        Device ID
    BCM4313     0x4727
    BCM43224    0x4353
    BCM43225    0x4357

    brcmfmac (SDIO)
    Name
    BCM4329

Both brcmsmac and brcmfmac drivers require firmware files that need to be
separately downloaded.

Firmware
======================
Firmware is available from the Linux firmware repository at:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
    https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git


===============================================================
Broadcom brcmsmac driver
===============================================================
- Support for both 32 and 64 bit Linux kernels


Firmware installation
======================
Copy brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw and brcm/bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw to
/lib/firmware/brcm (or wherever firmware is normally installed
on your system).


===============================================================
Broadcom brcmfmac driver
===============================================================
- Support for 32 bit Linux kernel, 64 bit untested


Firmware installation
======================
Copy brcm/bcm4329-fullmac-4.bin and brcm/bcm4329-fullmac-4.txt
to /lib/firmware/brcm (or wherever firmware is normally installed on your
system).
