BCM43xx Linux Driver Project
============================
About this software
-------------------
The goal of this project is to develop a linux driver for Broadcom
BCM43xx chips, based on the specification at
http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/
The project page is http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
Requirements
------------
1) Linux Kernel 2.6.15 or later
http://www.kernel.org/
You may want to configure your kernel with:
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS (optional):
-> Kernel hacking
-> Debug Filesystem
2) SoftMAC IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack extension and patched ieee80211
modules:
http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/
3) Firmware Files
Please try fwcutter. Fwcutter can extract the firmware from various
binary driver files. It supports driver files from Windows, MacOS and
Linux. You can get fwcutter from http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/.
Also, fwcutter comes with a README file for further instructions.
