Broadcom Open Sources Wireless Drivers

Broadcom has finally released the open source drivers for their popular wireless chips. Linux has really been receiving some love as of late; nice.

Broadcom would like to announce the initial release of a fully-open Linux driver for it's latest generation of 11n chipsets. The driver, while still a work in progress, is released as full source and uses the native mac80211 stack. It supports multiple current chips (BCM4313, BCM43224, BCM43225) as well as providing a framework for supporting additional chips in the future, including mac80211-aware embedded chips.
