| ============================ |
| |
| 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 2.6.16 or later |

| -> 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. |
