Broadcom brcmsmac (mac80211-based softmac PCIe) and brcmfmac (SDIO) drivers.

Completely open source host drivers, no binary object files.

Support for the following chips:
===============================

    brcmsmac (PCIe)
    Name        Device ID
    BCM4313     0x4727
    BCM43224    0x4353
    BCM43225    0x4357

    brcmfmac (SDIO)
    Name
    BCM4329

Both brcmsmac and brcmfmac drivers require firmware files that need to be
separately downloaded.
