I actually didn't finish it (the finished part works well enough for me on dfly for all of the 8 bcm cards I have) and I do not have enough time to keep working on it. Several folks mailed me about what to do next, I pointed them to the spec on the web, however, I didn't hear from any of them after that. > > no way to develop a driver. > the new cards have to write a new driver. I based on following URL when I worked on the "old" driver: http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/ For newer parts you will need following one: http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/ Hope this will be useful to you.
