According to a page that hasn't been updated for a while (https://wiki.free=
bsd.org/SDIO) work is in progress on Broadcom wireless drivers for the Rasp=
berry Pi 3 and 4.  I'm supposed to start by building the GENERIC-MMCCAM ker=
nel.  A CAM device will then appear which I can then use camcontrol to talk=
 to.  I built the kernel and booted it on my Pi 3B+, which has a  Broadcom =
43455/6 according to Linux.   All camcontrol finds is the mini SD card. I s=
ee only one call to sdhci_init_slot in bcm2835_sdhost.c so maybe that's the=
 problem.  It supports exactly one SDIO device, a memory card.

Any thoughts?  Is it worth thinking about the wireless chip or is it just t=
oo much work?
