2 | BCM43xx Linux Driver Project | ||
3 | ============================ | ||
4 | |||
5 | About this software | ||
6 | ------------------- | ||
7 | |||
8 | The goal of this project is to develop a linux driver for Broadcom | ||
9 | BCM43xx chips, based on the specification at | ||
10 | http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/ | ||
11 | |||
12 | The project page is http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ | ||
13 | |||
14 | |||
15 | Requirements | ||
16 | ------------ | ||
17 | |||
18 | 1) Linux Kernel 2.6.15 or later | ||
19 | http://www.kernel.org/ | ||
20 | |||
21 | You may want to configure your kernel with: | ||
22 | |||
23 | CONFIG_DEBUG_FS (optional): | ||
24 | -> Kernel hacking | ||
25 | -> Debug Filesystem | ||
26 | |||
27 | 2) SoftMAC IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack extension and patched ieee80211 | ||
28 | modules: | ||
29 | http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/ | ||
30 | |||
31 | 3) Firmware Files | ||
32 | |||
33 | Please try fwcutter. Fwcutter can extract the firmware from various | ||
34 | binary driver files. It supports driver files from Windows, MacOS and | ||
35 | Linux. You can get fwcutter from http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/. | ||
36 | Also, fwcutter comes with a README file for further instructions. | ||
