Hi! The phy code from brcmfmac is bsd licenced and with some bwn work should be able to be dropped in. I chose the GPL code because it was easier to port. I wanted to debug one thing at a time. Now that I'm confident the basic mac bits in bwn work, then changing phy code is doable. I'll likely port phy-ht from b43 so Landon can do his bcm4331 work on head. Once that's all done and working then I'll think about the bsd licenced phy code. If someone else wants to take a crack at it then please do!

I will test the driver as soon as I come back from a work-related symposium I am at right now. In your last e-mail you mentioned that some of the Broadcom bcm 43xx driver code is GPL-licensed. Do you think there is any chance to re-write it somehow as to make it compatible with the FreeBSD base system license-wide? If you need some help testing the driver I am all up for it. I have a fairly working FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE installation on a 2009 MacBook laptop with bcm 4321. It would be nice to see the driver make its way to 11-RELEASE. Probably too much wishful thinking on my side, though :).
