Heh, well, I can't use it for porting anything to freebsd. broadcom aren't interested in open sourcing their reference driver. The only open source we get from broadcom is brcmfmac/brcmsmac, which broadcom manage. It's missing older chips (eg PHY-LP, PHY-G) and the PHY-AC softmac port (BCM4360.) -adrian On 17 November 2016 at 12:42, paradox via freebsd-wireless <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> wrote: > if Anrian already have access to source code of broadcom, its great ! i d= on't known about it > > about of licensing, the sourcecode can be porting to freebsd but not incl= uding to kernel, seems many people tobe enougth this > > > -------------------------------------------- > On Thu, 11/17/16, Felix Friedlander <felixphew0@gmail.com> wrote: > > Subject: Re: sourcecode of broadcom drivers up to 2011 yr sup > To: "paradox" <ddkprog@yahoo.com> > Cc: freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org > Date: Thursday, November 17, 2016, 10:32 PM > > > > On 18 Nov. 2016, at 05:36, paradox via freebsd-wireless > <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> > wrote: > > > > seems all BCM WIFI PHY & MAC sourcecode of > ABG/N/LP/NT/SSN > > hope your can build it or take part for independ module > > > MAC > > https://github.com/elenril/VMG1312-B/tree/master/bcmdrivers/broadcom/n= et/wl/impl10/wl/sys > > PHY > > https://github.com/elenril/VMG1312-B/tree/master/bcmdrivers/broadcom/n= et/wl/impl10/wl/phy > > There=E2=80=99s a difference between finding the code, and having > a licence to use it=E2=80=A6 If I=E2=80=99m not mistaken Adrian already > has access to the proprietary Broadcom driver through his > work, it=E2=80=99s more of a licensing issue. > > Still a nice find though, with this and the Cypress > datasheets some things may become a bit easier. > > -- > Felix Friedlander <felixphew0@gmail.com> > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscribe@freebsd.or= g"
