Title: Extension for 'brcmsmac' module
Post by: chris... 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

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/     ?
