Extension for 'brcmsmac' module
« on: October 15, 2011, 02:28:12 AM »
My netbook uses a wifi driver located in the staging section of the kernel
I suppose I can just add it myself I just need the config file used to make the kernel

release/src/kernel under any mirror.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Make an extension and submit it to the repo. See

ok, the entire package would consist of 4 files, 2 kernel modules and 2 firmware files
the kernel modules belong in /usr/local/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/staging/brcm80211/
do i put the firmware into /lib/firmware/brcm/     ?
